- I submitted an article to AC. It sat in their files for
- months, with nobody telling me if it was accepted or rejected. I
- phoned the editor half a dozen times, and each time he said he'd
- "check and get back to me." He never did. After six months of this,
- I withdrew the article.
-
- In the same period of time, AmigaWorld accepted and paid for
- four articles.
-
- I still wanted to write for AC, so I tried a different method.
- Instead of sending an article, I phoned AC in advance with some
- article ideas. The editor thought they were good and said, "let me
- check and make sure nobody else is working on the same idea. I'll get
- back to you." He never did. This happened several times. I stopped
- calling.
-
- I wish AC luck, but if they want more writers, they have to
- treat them a little better.
