    I've been doing this for 12 years now so here are some tips.
    YOu get names of all the photo editors you want your work to appear in and you send samples of your work. Typically if they are interested in what they see, they will hit you back. Otherwise, try seeing if they have a drop off day to review work over all and leave a physical book there. It helps if you have a way in to make sure they see your work. Best of luck. But yes, typically they don't pay too well unless you are a big name doing something specific.

    • thanks for the confirmation - it is nice to hear advice from the other side (:bigtrick
    • I am on both sides so I really know the drill. But yeah, I don't do it for the money for mags, in fact a few still owe me money for a few years back for images, and it's not even for a lot of money...
