Date: 2007-09-29, 4:25PM MST Top Model Magazine’s premiere issue will be coming out January 2008. We are a magazine about models and photographers of Arizona. Looking for articles on photography styles, fashion, freelance modeling saftey tips, makeup articles, fashion events. Also local reviews on clothing stores and clubs where fashion events happen. Be creative! But things along this line. Your first published article will be an application article, and if we like your writing we will use you for future paid articles that we have a need for your particular style. You will get full credit and url to your website or e-mail if you prefer for the initial article you submit though, so great exposure throughout Arizona! Thank you for your time, we all look forward to reviewing the fun things Arizona’s talented writers have to offer. -Editor R. Gipson
I would be very wary of this set up! Anyone who is asking for an ‘application article’ is probably looking for free material and there is no promise of future work. This type of magazine can get enough free stories from unsuspecting writers to tide them over for many issues. I am sure the magazine staff are not working for free and the printers are being paid for the initial issue - why should writers be the suckers? Am also sure that the advertisers have to pay to be part of the initial issue so pay the writers first as we provide the content that makes up the magazine in teh first place.
Cheers, Phoenix
