Exciting email

[pauln]

Hi all, I received an email today which is quite exciting. A while back I sent some images to a few magazines but totally forgot about it until today when I received this

Dear Paul 

You will be happy to hear we have looked through your submission sent to Amateur Photographer and chosen your material to be put forward to the next stage of the selection process for our Reader Portfolio pages.

So what happens next:

We need you to send us a CD with the images originally submitted. They will have to be Tiff or Jpeg format compatible to Photoshop, which should be 300dpi and 2480 pixels along the longest length.

 

If you could also fill in the attached submission form print it off along with a contact sheet of the images and post with the CD.

 

Once we have received the CD, contact sheet and form we will check the quality of the images with our design team and make a final decision. Myself, Oliver Atwell or Jon Stapley from our features team, may contact you to discuss things further regarding image info. But you will be informed if we choose to publish your material.

 

Feel free to give me a ring if you have any questions or concerns on the number below. The postal address for the AP Reader Portfolio picture desk is:

Brilliant - getting into AP is no mean feat!

[pauln]

Well I haven't got there yet it's just the first stage but I never thought I would even hear back from anyone let alone progress to the next stage :)

Brilliant news!

 

I got two pages in that section of AP years and years ago - still have the mag somewhere.

 

They will get in touch closer to the publishing date to ask a little about you and you even get paid.

[pauln]

Do you? I didn't know that, I sent sent some images to 3 or 4 mags just to get my name out there. I've heard back from 2 bbc wildlife mag that said although they were good images they couldn't print them because they were taken at the zoo and now AP

Well done, Paul.   
It's always nice to see someone get recognition for their work.

Good luck with your progression. :)

Happy days Paul - lets hope it all gets in print - I found it very satisfying when mine went in a national magazine, as I'm sure others here will have done.

 

Now it's your turn  

 

 

Paul.

[pauln]

Thanks everyone, still a long way to go but I never imagined they would even acknowledge me let alone ask me to send them images :)
