Sounds cool, but you really need to start getting paid for your work.

Thanks Rob. It's been great because I don't necessarily want to make a career out of this, I just want to do it. I just don't want to be taken advantage of.

Wouldn't you know it! You replied before I could ninja-edit my fuck-ups

volunteering was cool, getting published sounds sweet.
him asking you to contribute that much more sounds like he is trying to profit from your hard work.

getting to do something you really enjoy is always great even if you don't get paid. however when it starts to feel like they're taking advantage then the joy of doing it starts to fade.

It really sounds as tho he is trying to get you to write the whole months worth of reading material. I'd cap it at 3 and request the Editor at Large title, it just sounds cool.

So what's the mag's name, anyway? I haven't heard of anything new coming out recently.
