139:Good news comes fast….
Linda December 18th, 2009
I took pictures of our Frog Prince doll and sent them to the editor of Art Doll Quarterly for consideration. This is her reply:
“Hi Linda,
It’s so ironic that I’d get an email from you today because we just had our art selection committee meeting yesterday and made our final placement decisions for the next issue! I was going to contact you yet today to let you know that your Alice mannikin has been chosen as a feature article in the Summer issue. So, what I need from you is an article approximately 800 words in length that includes the following:”
instructions on the article and it’s form, then she ends the email by saying….
“Compensation is paid at a rate of $50 per printed page, however, I won’t know how many pages it will run until my designer begins laying it out. Please let me know as soon as possible if you’re willing to do the article. If you should have any questions or need clarification, feel free to contact me via e-mail (preferred) or phone. I’m only too happy to help. And thanks again for sharing such a terrific project with the readers of Art Doll Quarterly!
Thanks, too, for sending the images of your Oriental Frog Prince. He’s great! I’ll confer with my team and get back to you about him. You do great work.
”
This is so very very cool ;0) And needless to say I am happy happy happy!
(p.s. she is a GREAT Editor to work for. Trust me, I know this.)


Very cool news…and I agree you do great work!!
I just love it when they ask is you are willing to do the article. It has only happened once to me (so far) but I felt like yelling out a great big “YA” that could be heard all the way through cyberspace!
