American Beauty Denver
American Beauty Denver Magazine Did not pay Internet
13th of Nov, 2010 by User233135
American Beauty Denver (http://www.americanbeautydenver.com) selected me as a finalist to write an article for their inaugural November issue. They sent me an email describing who they were ( ..." a gentlemen's magazine"), their distribution numbers (10,000 for their first issue) and instructions on the topic to write. After submitting five ideas for topics, they asked me to write on two of them.


Here is an excerpt from an email from "Lane Fairchild", the editor ([email protected])


"After I receive your ideas, I will choose a story assignment, and send you our writer agreement for you to release the content and to arrange payment. For the first issue, we are only able to pay $20/article, but due to the huge exposure opportunity, we hope that you consider our offer with hopes of a higher rate for the next issue."


After submitting the article, I did not hear from him in about a month. Finally, I received this email after inquiring about payment


"Since we are only paying $20 an article for this first issue, the kill fee (usually around 25 percent), isn't really worth it (especially to send to Spain). You may sell the article to another company, and we do appreciate the work you did. Please let me know if there is anything else I can do to help. Lane"


Just wanted to warn American Beauty Denver magazine (americanbeautydenver.com) did not pay me and withholds payments if you are outside of the country. Nowhere in their ad or introductory email did it specify non payment to contractors outside of the US. Looking to spread the word so that other writers won't waste their time with this unprofessional company.
