It's fine to write for "exposure", but whether an artist, illustrator, writer, or actor; one cannot make a living by routinely donating their work. A contribution to help a worthy organization is one thing, but regularly giving away work (in my opinion) devalues it. Unless, of course, the artistic endeavor is considered strictly a hobby (which is awesome, too!) with no expectation of anything more than another publishing credit. I suppose it comes down to goals and intentions.<br /><br />www.patwahler.comPat Wahlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01138619912065680084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4145825647751945760.post-57292350914715584282018-06-09T19:02:41.153-05:002018-06-09T19:02:41.153-05:00Thank you all for your comments.

Sioux, I am so happy you found a home for your letter, I suggest you write another one, as submissions are still open.<br /> <br />I did a lot of soul searching, and appreciate everyone's input.<br /><br />Top be clear, I made a mistake, and Marc is not at fault in any way. I wrote "stipend" next to my submission on my calendar.

Unlike you, I don't see my letter being "universal." I wrote the letter specifically for that anthology, and I don't see another market for my letter. It was a chance to vent... and I hope others can relate to it.<br /><br />As a writer, you have a way of relating to many people and different markets with a single piece. You need to do what's right for your piece.

Your instincts tell you to not sign, and I think your instincts have served you well for many years.<br /><br />You are well known enough and are talented enough and prolific enough, that you don't have to worry about getting another publishing notch in your belt. Giving away your work when it's not a worthy cause or when it's not going to lead to something positive (a connection, a percentage) is pointless for you.<br /><br />Stick to your guns!
