Got myself published in one of the UK daily papers today (Daily Mirror) after being contacted about a month ago re my pics in my (hate to say it) Flickr gallery, by a media agency- should get a percentage of sales :)
Only found out when one of my local papers rang me up to ask about it :)
Since had a tentative enqury from a reputable "art" book publisher- it's all happening.

    Brian,

    Congratulations! It's always a good thing to be published, and if you are paid, it's even better.

    But, you deserve it! You have worked hard to develop your craft.

    If anyone thinks this stuff is easy, send them here, to this forum. We'll set them straight.
