L,
small magazines like this pay so little and are such a hassle that most
writers give up on the whole thing EXCEPT those writers who are promoting something
else (like software, books, websites) and need to continuously keep their
name in the public eye.
I wrote a wonderful article for them once, which they commissioned ahead of
time. Truly different than anything they had ever printed. A combo
travel/casino article about crossing rural Nevada. I coined the phrase "Nevada Outback"
in the title. They sat on the article forever and then paid me what they
call a kill fee to NOT print it. Instead they printed an article with only a
tenth of the content of mine, none of the humour, but it was promoting a book. I
never submitted anything else to them.
