When the Cheshire emerges...

I get these emails from the US about how you can sell your photos/articles to magazines etc. This was the most relevant thing I've read from them. Ever. See A McDonald's Odyssey: one girl's quest entry for context...

Dear Katina,

In some cases, selling your photos to magazines is a lot like looking
at a menu at McDonalds. For the most part, McDonalds menus are the
same across the country – Big Mac, Quarter Pounder, Chicken McNuggets,
Filet-O-Fish, etc.

But in some areas, the menu changes.

I grew up in Bethany Beach DE, for example, and we had a Maryland crab
cake on our menu. And if you go overseas, you’ll find a fried shrimp
burger in Hong Kong, fresh corn cups as an alternative to fries,
McRice burgers, McSpaghetti, and more.

What goes on a McDonalds menu somewhat stays the same in each
location. But sometimes, little things change. And that’s what
learning to sell your photos to magazines is like – different editors
like different kinds of stories, and photos you sell to one
publication might not work well in another.
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.
