Recruiting Writers for the Internet Magazine

[Dynasty]

New bump.

To my continuing surprise, I just can't seem to get consistent quality hold 'em articles (limit and no-limit) submitted to me. So, once again, I'd like to solicit the mods opinions on who I should contact to impmrove the quality of the Magazine content.

The Magazine has also had very few submissios about tournament hold 'em. So, that's an area I could use some advice in too.

Hey Dynasty -- what are the terms of writing articles? Is there any $ in it? How often do you want them? I could write some pretty decent general LHE pieces... for example, here's a long strategy post I made in SS a while ago that got a lot of really good feedback (including people who say I should have submitted it to the magazine -- something I hadn't even considered).

Another poster I think would be good is Nate1279 (or 1729 or something like that). He's actually working on a huge thesis about strategy for Arizona's pseudo-NL game, the 5-150 spread. I think he should publish it in the magazine instead of in a strat forum.

The Magazine pays $200 per article. Published articles stay on the website for three months. During those three months, the article can't be published anywhere else. After that period is over, the rights to the article return completely to you (you can publish it again elsewhere).

The Magazine is monthly so it's ideal to find writers who can produce an article each month. Jeffage has been an excellent contributor of stud articles as has Frank Jerome for Omaha/8 material. If I could get some NLHE and LHE writers like them, it would be great.



I already have Nate's article on that spread limit game. I got it a few days ago and am about to take a first look at it.

I'm genuinely surprised you didn't know you were getting paid.



To all,

Do you think there is any general misconception that tha Magazine doesn't pay for its articles?

I have followed up on all the suggestions given in this tread over the past 5+ months.

Schneids: He was busy for a while but I've recently PM'd him again to guage his interest.

Blair Rodman: Blair is mostly playing Elimination Blackjack tournaments now. But, he's interested in contributing some articles on that game. I'm considering it.

*TT*: He should be starting a series of 2-7 TD articles in the March issue.

Barron Vangor Toth: After not agreeing on a couple submissions when I became editor, Barron stopped submitting articles.

Lorinda: I PM"d "her" a few months ago. Her interest was low mostly because of the more strategy-oriented direttion I was trying to take the Magazine in.

Dan (MrNow) had a long series in the Magazine already (Poker and Finance).

Wookie: I know I've PM'd him. But, I don't remember his response.

Tommy Angelo: He wrote one article. But, he's currently working on a book so he's not available.

[censored]: I actually didn't follow up on Sniper's "advice". But, gossip collumns aren't what I'm looking for.

[MrWookie]

I wouldn't mind writing another article. I'd actually been talking w/ Nfinity about doing a whole series of 6 max LHE articles. He used to be a Micro/SSSH regular, but some personal issues have regulated an on-again-off-again poster, with more off-again lately. I'll have to see if I can get a hold of him again so we can bounce ideas off each other. Once I get inspired on a topic, I can usually get something decent written in not too much time. I'll let you know when I/we have something.

The series should eventually include Badugi and possibly Razz if I am motivated. I'd rather work hand and play hard than write, I'm a lazy bastard when it comes to writing [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img] Lucky for Dyansty I don't have too many excuses now... first submission expected at the end of the month.
