I'm Published!! Cosmopolitan Bride Spring 2010


I'M PUBLISHED!!!

Knowing my article, "8 Negotiating Tips Every Bride Needs to Know", was slated for the August Cosmopolitan Bride, I started feverishly checking the mag's web site and bugging my newsagency weeks ago. Last Monday, the web site showed the new issue. Never mind I was at work, I shot down and bought it and then bragged to the news-agents, my colleagues and strangers in the elevator about my success.

I carried the magazine around all day like a blankie, reading and re-reading the article. My words. In print. With stylish pictures and funky lettering. A breakout box. I lunched with it and narrowly stopped short of sleeping with it. But I was tempted.

What to do next? Frame it? Put the tear-sheet in some sort of portfolio setup? One thing's for sure -- I won't hush up about it for quite some time!

  7. Congratulations on being published. How exciting! I'm a public school teacher and was once published (years ago) in an educational journal. It was small but very exciting for me.
    Thanks for joining in the blog hop fun at Friendly Friday this week. I'm following you back on GFC. :)
