When I recovered from almost dying 10 or 12 years ago, I made a list of things I wanted to accomplish. One of which was to have my tin work shown in a national magazine. Over the years I submitted to many magazines including People Magazine. You've got to imagine that magazine editors are bombarded with submissions.
What Women Create and Where Women Create are two beautiful magazines that will delight your eyes and inspire your creativity. The artists and craftswomen in What Women Create show their work and share how they do it.
I wasn't aware of the magazines until my friend (the artist in the studio across the hall), Patan, brought in a stack. I was wowed and instantly wanted to be in one.
I found a phone number online and called it. A man answered " Hello". I thought I misdialed, "Hello? I think I've made a mistake". Man says "What are you looking for?" Which was unusual because most people just say ok and hang up. "I'm looking for a magazine ", I said tentatively. So then he says " Which one?". He was so nice. " What Women Create". Then he says " That's my magazine " or something like that. Then we have a chat for a bit and he suggests I send images to the editor and if I don't hear back within 10 days to send them again. So impressive. Who does that?
