Thanks. I wasn't expecting it to be in until later, but Niddy spotted it and told me. I'm going out to buy a copy, just in case they don't send me one.
No problem - I've been known to go on about any success until OH holds up a bit of paper saying I KNOW!!!! so I did wonder if I'd already mentioned it.
Well done! I'll go and get a copy. I love reading other TBites work.
If they haven't sent you a copy ...
... am I waiting in vain for my copies to come through - I've got 4 on the Paid-For list with DCThomson, going right into last November.
Keep a'goin, everyone. We plan a TB Takeover of Womag?
Ceka, they did send a copy. Previously I've got one a day or two before it's in the shops, but this one came afterwards. I read that for a while they weren't sending contributor copies, but had started again.
Have your 4 stories been published - or aren't you sure?
They haven't been published to my knowledge - but I think I'll ring Liz and Marion tomorrow and find out, cos if they haven't been sending copies, I wouldn't know, I don't get the magazines except about once in 6 weeks to keep up with things. Bummer if I missed them!
Ceka, can you let me know what you find out? I too have had about 3 or 4 bought and paid for by PF that I have assumed still haven't been used, but if they are not sending out copies any more I could have missed them. Are you sure we aren't leading parallel lives??
Viv, Thomson did stop sending contributor copies, but it was only a temporary mistake apparently. I got a copy from My Weekly (although not until just after it was in the shops) so it's likely PF are sending them. Maybe it would be worth starting a thread for people in this situation where you could list the name you'll be published under, title you expect to be used and a few details on the plot, then anyone who reads (or has recently read) the mag could say if they've seen it?
Lilly, yes it's gone now - you'll have to look out for it in the doctor's waiting room! Keep writing and revising and studying the market and sending stuff out and you will get published.

Well done writing lady.

Sigh; I dream of that kind of moment (getting published, not missing a mag).
