Where else have you been published?

I know that there are quite a few 'real' writers around here. I am nosy - where has everyone been published IRL?

This includes those whose plays have been performed, whose poetry has been read at a public reading- time to blow those horns!

Oh heavens, you're asking me to reveal exactly how boring most of my writing is? OK, here goes:

Educational Institute of the American Hotel & Lodging Association

White Papers on Club Management, volume I (which you can find on Amazon and Epinions somewhere )
White Papers on Club Management, volume II
Chapters in books on Training, Supervision, Resort and Vacation Ownership Management, Club Management, and Housekeeping
Numerous case studies
Lodging Management Program, year one and two and all of the teacher and student materials that go with it
Too many training guides and supervisory/management materials to list

Lansing CityLimits Magazine (several feature articles)

Lansing State Journal (I was a restaurant reviewer for a while)

The Grand Rapids Press (I wrote several book reviews)

Club Managers Association of America (a 14-book series to train assistant managers as part of a mentoring program)

General Motors-CRW (I co-wrote a training program and policy guide on hoteling for a group that was going over to that office concept)

The Observer & Eccentric Newspapers (several feature stories)

Then there is the various miscellaneous volunteer stuff: I did some writing for a gubernatorial campaign, wrote a 6-week classroom guide to "Twelve Angry Men," contributed to various newsletters for local theater groups, etc.

Oh, and I had an excerpt of my writing published in a missionary book ages ago. I think I was 16 or 17 at the time.

There was also an article recently in an academic journal, but I'm not remembering the title of the article or the journal at the moment...I really should look that up.

I don't think I'm one of them, but I won't let that stop me from answering:

An article (technically a "comment," for those who care about the difference, because I wrote it as a student, and students have to call their articles "comments") for the Hastings Constitutional Law Quarterly on anti-abortion protests, mostly about whether laws designed to prevent racial discrimination can also be used to prevent discrimination based on gender.

A short story for a little magazine called "Transfer" out of San Francisco State.

Do crossword puzzles count as "publications"? Well, I'm going to count them, because then I can say I've been published in the Sunday New York Times Magazine, and I like saying that.

Also hundreds elsewhere -- NYT dailies, Washington Post Sundays, LA Times dailies, all over the net, and in various magazines and books.

Plus I've got boxes full of unpublished stories. Does that count for anything?

-- Auntie, who wonders what it would be like to be "real"

Way cool!!! :thumbs:

I've never met someone before who had a crossword published in the Sunday Magazine. Very, very cool.

Thanks.

I also just found out a little while ago that I have one in today's paper (that's today my time, but yesterday, New Yawk time), in case anyone's interested and still has it sitting in their recycling bin. (But if you want to know any answers, bear in mind that I'm senile and can't remember a thing.

Auntie, I am so impressed!

Back in the 80's the Episcopal Church published a bunch of my articles and resources on Christian Education. And I contributed a chapter to a book on theology of C.E. published by Seabury Press. I did a lot of book reviews and such for church publications. Haven't done any real writing since then though.

Unless you count writing up research projects for the funder. YAWWNNNNN.

I have a wide range of publications that fall under the "I like to eat and pay my bills so I write about corporate topics for corporate publications" category. A small sampling of these are:

Managing and Contributing Editor for a 12-page weekly stock market newsletter

Managing Editor and Contributing Editor for the 600 page yearly stock market review by the same publisher

Corporate publications and relevant articles in company newsletters for everything from hospitals and loan corporations to nationwide shopping malls

Educational article on English fundamentals for a junior high school level publication

Many other newsletters, marketing brochures, web site blurbs, advertising copy blurbs, technical writings, etc for other very dry, very corporate entities

Some of my pleasurable writing ventures have been:

Poetry published in a national student anthology for emerging writers

Poetry and short stories published in various minor literary rags, local papers, etc

Various "for fun only" self-uploaded random online reviews, stories, etc in places like epinions.com and poetry.com

And of course "COMING SOME DAY TO A BOOKSTORE NEAR YOU!":

The "Next Great American Novel", which is currently stuck in chapter 15 and herding dust bunnies under my desk

The "Murder Mystery to Rival Mosely, Grafton and All Others", currently hitting a logistical block in the second murder and herding dust bunnies under the bed

I'm actually a surreal writer...but I guess that's beside the point, huh?

Over the years, I've managed to pester, cajole, bribe and threaten enough editors to publish my work that some of them eventually caved in. To wit:

Several poems published in The Christian Century , Cornerstone, Sojourners, and other Christian periodicals.

My short fiction has appeared in Esquire (September 1998), Fish Stories, Permafrost, The Greensboro Review, The Nebraska Review, South Dakota Review, and the Liechtenstein Review.
(just kidding on the last one)

I've had a couple of non-fiction essays appear in places like Snowy Egret, Santa Clara Review and Alaska Passages.

All this doesn't make me more "real" than the next guy sitting at a keyboard typing his fingers down to bloody nubs. It just makes me lucky enough to have caught an editor on a good day.

I had an article published in RN magazine. It caused quite a ruckus at work, because I alleged that staff behavior was impacted by the fact that both parents were attorneys. It might not have been quite so controversial if a local lawyer hadn't simultaneously begun a series of "does your child have Cerebral Palsy" advertisements.

The kid's care wasn't impacted, just staff behavior toward the parents. It was stupid, I said so. I got my hand smacked. I was told that I should probably have run the article past the hospital attorney. Right.

One person (not my nurse manager) basically invited me to resign, to which I responded "I was here before you came, and I'll be here when you're gone." She's gone, I'm not.

I have another article I'm trying to get published which shouldn't get me in nearly so much trouble.
