I am guessing they wont offer me KD10 since that would be less then Bazaar. Q8Life shut down right after they rebranded which was weird. don't know why though.

They offered me something like KD10/article back in the day. I politely declined. Whatever happened to Kuwait Life? And how come I can never find Bazaar in AlKout anymore? KTM is still around?

Whatever happened to Kuwait Life?

And how come I can never find Bazaar in AlKout anymore?

Since I dont write 4 or 5 reviews every month related to Kuwait that would have meant I would have had to write them specifically for Bazaar. Submitting content thats already from my blog would mean that you would choose 4 or 5 posts and publish them but thats not what you asked from me. bazaar: actually i was told to submit any 4 or 5 reviews every month related to Kuwait.

And finally,when you were asked to contribute to bazaar it was to provide content that was already on your blog, so it was a simple copy paste procedure.Nothing new or original that was going to cost you time or money.We are always looking for news on whats up and whats new,and we are always looking for ways to encourage people to write.Having you in bazaar would achieve both these things because you have quite a following and have a knack for sourcing interesting news. just for the record and for you to keep in mind,bazaar appreciates its writers very much and not once in 10 years was it late paying its writers or did it not step up to defend its writers when need be.Every writer on the team from 15 year olds in school,to professional writers that also write for news papers in kuwait and abroad,to the many bloggers from all over the world that contribute,all of them receive their payment within one week of publication.Also,please keep in mind that when a magazine is free and distributes 20,000 copies all over the country in its own stands (more that 200) that costs an arm and a leg unlike magazines that are on a news stand for sale.

But if you consider writing a career, here's not the place to do it because the value of the work is either not appreciated, or there's too much competition from expats which results in lower fees.
