I'm new to the Hubb and forums in general, and while I've found this thread interesting, it has become a tad unsettling.
People are complaining about and trying to justify what they are worth and I find this self interest somewhat puerile. I buy magazines every week and it is I who decides what you are worth with my wallet. If the buying public doesn't like what they are reading then they stop buying. A good editor/owner will detect the falling sales and a successful editor/owner will react and revise his contributors or content.
I stand by my previous comment that professional writers deserve to be paid well for their labours, but it's a tough business and your work needs to be special if you are going to make a successful living nowadays. Birdy had the right idea, get the exposure that was offered and move forward. Isn't that how most of us started our careers? We were thankful for the opportunities given us, let's not complain when someone is offered the same.
Btw, I love reading your articles Birdy and I'll take any magazine that you are featured in.
