I’m pretty sure it will work…
A couple issues ago an article about a scratch build Mega Der Red Max that I wrote got published in the Sport Rocketry Magazine. Has anyone here ever gotten an article published? Just wondering.
It partly depends on when you submit. Every year there is a big wall of 2-3 issues with coverage of various competitions and events that use up most of the available magazine space.About the time it takes to get published, min actually took about a year and a half!!! I think there is a very big backup of articles.
Yes there was several big long (still cool, but still long) articles between me submitting my article being published.It partly depends on when you submit. Every year there is a big wall of 2-3 issues with coverage of various competitions and events that use up most of the available magazine space.
Yes, that is correct- but while the wait time is longer for bigger articles, the payment is bigger.I've had 12 articles published since my first in 2014. There is a backlog, so it has taken 11-26 months before publication. Several issues are devoted to National events, and there is not much room in those for user submissions. Tom Beach, the editor, told me that shorter articles may run faster, as they may "fit" around other articles in the layout and can move up in the queue.
Are you saying they'll publish articles without providng any compensation to the writers? Or are you saying they don't publish all the article submissions they receive and therefore, not all submisssions receive compensation?They *may* pay for articles.
And when you say they don't get paid, you're saying they don't even get a free year of NAR membership or some other form of non-monetary compensation?It is the first answer- actually a lot of them do get published, not all get paid.
Yikes!Nope. Kind of frustrating, but it is still fun to see your writing in print. But yes, you are right. They should have some way to compensate, even for the small articles. I think their trying to make more incentive for people to write bigger articles, but their waitlist is already over a year's wait long, so I don't see the logic in that.
