Then they can turn around and try to downgrade their pay to established artists and writers because they're getting all these submissions by people who want exposure." yes... exactly. If I had a quarter for every person that has hit me up this way over my erotica renders, I'd be really rich right now. Only one problem... they don't want to pay. I live with a journalist, so I have some experience on this topic. We get calls and emails all the time from "editors" at publications that want this, want that... and then claim the exposure should be pay enough. Well... when this is happening to people who have worked in the business for 20+ years and are established professionals, you have to scratch your head and wonder.
