Worth what you paid for it...

A quick word of advice that I just almost learned the hard way:

Always include your snail mail address on any e-mail submission you send to an editor. You never know when someone will decide to publish your work without letting you know and, gosh darn it, have no way to pay you since they only have your email address.

Isn't it an editor's responsibility to tell you that they plan on using your work before they publish it?

Yes, they should let you know before they publish it.

Yeah, that's what I thought as well. They didn't. Luckily, someone saw the article in the paper, otherwise I might never have known...


weird.

Yikes! That's ballsy of them. They're supposed to have a contract with you before they publish anything.
