$500 for pictures and interview in Popular Photography Magazine

If you're worried about cashing US cheques, ask them to pay you through xoom.com, direct into your account. It costs them $4.95. Costs you nowt.
 
Wow, firstly, congratulations! Secondly, I do subscribe to Pop Photo (I only subscribed as it's just £19 for a year which is much cheaper than most of the UK photo mags) and they do seem to have a lot of reader photos in each issue, so I don't quite know why this wouldn't be a legit thing?
If you still have your doubts, why not call them on a main number (which I'm sure you can find on the net, or I'd be happy to have a look at the editorial section in my latest copy if you want) and ask to speak to the person who emailed you?

I shall look out for your image when it's printed and would be happy to send you the copy (usually arrives a few weeks later than it's published in the US I think as they send by sea rather than airmail)
 
Thanks folks for your kind words - Editor says that it will probably be in either May or June, and they'll send me a couple of copies.

Still working on the blurb to send them, I hope they have some miracle writers!!

Post the questions up here Sara. We'll make you sound brilliant :)

Seriously, happy to help if you're stuggling. I've done it a thousand times for magazines I used to work on.
 
No problem with HSBC cashing cheques from Chase Manhattan- it's a BIG bank - or ask if they can pay by direct transfer - just supply them with your IBAN details (available from your branch if you ask...).

I'd say go for it as well...why the hell not?
 
Editor has been in contact and they want me to provide a couple more pics and get it all to them for Monday as it's going to press later in the week!! I shall be in Spain by the time the money comes in, I have been told that they will only do a cheque and won't pay direct to a bank. Don't know if my spanish bank will take a dollar cheque!!
