Searching for a new online publisher to replace Datamation

2010-03-12 23:55:35 UTC

I've enjoyed writing for Datamation. They got a good audience for my articles, and they paid for them. I generally write at the paid publication level, which I hope is somewhat above the level you'd expect from a blogger.

Unfortunately, Datamation's new owner won't revert articles to authors after a time. This means that I can't use the articles in a book, or on my own web site. That's not acceptable.

My articles often are derived from my strategic consulting work - with the customer name and specifics carefully removed. I must own them, because I don't want to be in the situation of having my consulting work be considered "derivative" of some article when it's actually the other way around.

So, I'm looking for a new online publisher who is willing to pay for writing, and will revert rights appropriately. Most of my articles get Slashdotted, so it's a good deal for the publisher.
