I sent a story about the 'good old days' almost a year ago to Reminisce Magazine . Last week I received a letter of acceptance, along with a request for pictures from the time of the story, and a current one. Since it took so long to get the acceptance, I have no idea when the story will be published. I'll let you know when I find out! But in the meantime, check it out. A friend of mine has a subscription and told me about it. She loves it. Here's the link: Reminisce Magazine [ October 12, 2005, 04:44 PM: Message edited by: DonnaJ ]

Hi Donna,
Congratulations. I checked out their contributor guidelines but couldn't find anything about if payment is offered for published submissions. Is it a payment in copies type situation?

You know, Kelly, it's been so long, I'm not sure, but I think pay is in copies. But I am blessed that I'll be able to give my sister, brother, and mom a copy. They'll be thrilled. Well, maybe not my sister since she's a mischievous 3 year old stinker in the story. lol!

Thanks, everyone! I don't know about the car, Louisa. That would be nice. I'll have to check out the site you mentioned, too.
JJ, I've talked to several older authors who've said they may be published posthumously! It's crazy.

Well, JJ, I guess I'll be at least another month older. I got the June issue and I'm not in it. They said it was scheduled tentatively for the summer, so I suppose I still have July and August to hope for.
Louisa, they did ask for a picture, too. I sent them a 'then' and 'now' set, and they sent me an email telling me they had approved at least one of them. We'll see. I noticed that they use a lot of short pieces of maybe only a paragraph or two.
I'm holding out hope that it comes in time to share with my friend's mother. She's been very ill.
Should be interesting, too, to see how much my piece is edited. This writing biz surely is an exercise in patience, huh?

Wow, Donna, I'm so glad for you! You are an inspiration, my dear friend. Congratulations!
Patience? Oh, yes! Patience is a must in this field. But you've made it so far, my friend; and times flies by, so... before you know it-you'll be enjoying your newly published article.

Hi, everyone! Well, the UPS man left me a package today containing a little red Chevy! So my article should be in the next issue. Whew!

To follow up: Today the FedEx man showed up! He had a package with copies of Reminisce Magazine, and there was my smiling mug right on the cover! It seems they have two covers - the subscription and the newstand cover. I'm on the newstand cover! A nice surprise!
I had received an email from a friend last night who had already received her issue by mail. She was SO excited. Made my day!
They did edit my story, but very little. Since I sent it in two years ago, I'd have to go back to my files to remember!

Thank you! So can I add 'cover girl' to my signature? LOL! I put the cover with my picture on http://www.donnashepherd.comWe went out to dinner, and there was a Barnes & Noble across from the restaurant, and there it was on the newsstand. A subtitle says, "Readers recall the '30s, '40s, '50s." I just squeaked in with my story as it's about the 1950's. Thanks for the congrats. Fun day!

Can I have your autograph? I think this is absolutely wonderful and we're all proud of you and celebrating in this great honor. You go, girl.
