Uh.
So, random internet poll:
Do YOU know who Charlie Glickman is?
Have you heard of Good Vibrations?
Have you heard of Good Vibrations Magazine?
Have you ever gone to the site and *read* Good Vibrations Magazine?
Do you know anyone who has?
I'm asking this because Charlie Glickman - who I respect as a smart, thoughtful, kinky-sexpositive writer and educator - expressed an interest in having me write for said online magazine. (Based solely on my twitter profile, as far as I can tell).
They pay 2 cents/word in store credit.
Which, normally, I wouldn't even consider. Unless they were a local grocery store.
Sex toys don't (at this juncture) pay my rent.
But Charlie has a really good reputation, and so does Good Vibrations (the store). I'm wondering if the magazine gets a lot of traffic just based on association.
Because, if yes, I think it would be a good way of getting my name out as an author and possibly finding (some/more of) my market (which is pretty niche-y, by the looks of things) in a way that doesn't involve self-publishing.
I will need to write him back and ask about site traffic and ownership rights (do they get First Printing, or is it Everything?).
Thoughts? Suggestions?
