Contributor’s Copy
Oct 13, 2006 Writing
I just got my contributor’s copy of Yoga Journal for my December feature on forgiveness. This was THE best magazine writing experience I have ever had. Great edits, a supportive editor, timely pay (they paid me before the contract said they had to), great pay, and two copies of the magazine and then tear sheets in a handy-dandy plastic cover for my binder.
And the piece looks FANTASTIC! Lots of illustrations, a blurb on the cover and me featured in the front as a contributor including my smiling mug (the picture I always use, which I took of myself while crouched on the bathroom floor).
That made me really happy. If only my every writerly day was full of these kinds of moments!!

One of the versions (I don’t like it as much — I forget now why I chose it) is at http://www.dawnfriedman.com

Oh I am so jelous. I want to be a magazine article writer when I grow up. And in Yoga Journal to boot! I don’t subscribe but I’ll be out to get the mag…. (I do Ashtanga)…Congrats on a great day for you!
(Thanks for letting me lurk here)

Very nice. Congratulations.

Bummer, I thought I would get to see the slippers in the photo. Sure, I thought they would be odd in a photo next to an article, but I figured you were enough of a trendsetter you could pull it off. Instead, there is just a normal (though attractive) photo of you, no slippers in sight.

Good for you! And great picture (I clicked over, I’m not just making that up).

You buttface. I want a blurb about me on a cover of something. But I’m not yoga-y. Though I want to be. But no one has any classes in the middle of nowhere.
Dude. Michelle is here, too. She stalks me, ya know. LOL!

I am struggling with the forgiveness issue this very moment! I want to forgive my ex for leaving to abruptly and cruelly. I keep thinking I have and feel a weight life, then it seems to fall back on my shoulders.

Hey, belated congratulations for this! I teach yoga and think Yoga Journal is by far and away the best of the yoga mags. I’m really looking forward to reading your article.
