You made it. You’ve sold your first article to a magazine, the light of prestige at the end of a very long, SEO-lined tunnel. (With apologies to Tamara, who turned a spectacular phrase that I couldn’t resist borrowing.) You’ve been sent a three-page contract set in 4 point type, and once you sign, your check will be in the mail and your name will be in lights all across the country (wouldn’t that be nice?) But really, though the ‘Net is wild and wooly, the world of print is not much better. Always make sure you know what you’re signing before you put your name on the dotted line.
