Papercraft Inspirations (UK Mag) - questions

[kthaman]

I received an email today from Helen Self of Papercraft Inspirations - a UK based magazine.

They want to publish one of my cards (I did not submit any cards, she found it while browsing). The issue would be in stores April 11.

I guess I'm just very skeptical (probably because I'm also very gullible - I know that doesn't seem to go together, but that's me). How could they get a magazine printed and in stores in just a few weeks?

Is this too good to be true??

It does sound fast but I just tried Googling "Helen Self papercraft inspirations" to check it out and found this blog post in the first few hits - same experience but back in November and she has a pic of the mag she was published in on her blog post. I guess if it's a regular feature so the space is "ready planned" and they're using your photography rather than having you send the project then it's doable.

Congrats on having your project picked out!

LOL, I just googled too and found the same. I'm pretty sure I recognise the name, too, from when PI interviewed me for a feature some years back. But all my old emails are archived, and I can't check for sure. Could even be back in my Pegasus archives, and they're tricky to search. Way to go, Karen.

Joanne - you are a doll. I am always search-inept and can never find anything.

Sabrina - thanks for offering to search your email, but I don't think that will be necessary.

I'm so excited - this will be my first publication!
