If an article is published and you are promised payment for it what do you do if it never arrives?

Question

I had an article published in the may edition of FATE magazine and they said 6-8 weeks well I have never gotten my $50 check and I have been calling everyday and no one answers its always their answering machine. Who can I contact to get that money or what can I do?

Answer 1

Don't call the editor.  Fax new invoice to  accounts payable at 952-891-6091

I had one magazine take 3 months to issue my check... only to issue it 3 times over the course of 4 months.

Never count on freelance money to be timely.
