Just having a flick through some mags and noticed some images also seen on here.

How dificult is it to get them published like, and does it take time of try n trying etc?

What mags are the better ones to be published in?

I've had some published in Amateur Photographer earlier this year, submitted some to one of the others (Photography Monthly, I think), who have kept them for 'possible future publication', which sounds like a standard response TBH, i.e. we think your pictures are rubbish.

How difficult is it to get published? Not very.

How difficult is it to get paid? Much harder.

ok, cool, my pics aint up to scratch of whats published but curious to what gets in.

its like any thing, free is easy and people want, but charge for it they run away as quick as they came running for a freebie lol

I'm in the latest issue of Light Leaks, got in on my first try and only submitted one photograph. Light Leaks is a lot smaller publication than Amateur Photographer etc though.

I've had a few published in photo plus - but like viewfromthenorth said, they keep them for future publication. They keep popping up even a year after initial publication!!!

Even though you dont get money for published photos, as a beginner learning, its a great feeling!

I've had quite a few in Practical photography, they seem like a good lot and pay ok

I think AP paid £50, and promptly to.
