Have you ever done this?
I am curious - I have an idea - and well - I'll be honest - it would be cool to be published....If you have submitted an article, project, etc - can you answer the following:
1) Did you submit a project (build a 'xyz') or an article (subject material or story)?
2) If a project, how developed were your plans/drawings? Pencil drawings or more advanced? Photos? How to make it instructions?
3) How did you protect your idea/material? I've heard you can copy-right your material by sending yourself a copy of the materials thru the mail - T/F?
4) Did you contact the publisher/editor in advance or just send it in?
5) Accepted/not accepted?
6) If not accepted, were you told why? Did you have the option of correction and re-submission?
7) Did the publisher/editorial staff help refine your idea/project?
8) Were you paid or just bragging rights?
9) Who (publication) did you contact and why?
Any other info about your experience would be helpful....
Many thanks Jim
