I was advised, as usual, of my fees and sent in my invoice. Since that day, despite writing to the principals concerned with the Highbury House Publications demise, I have not received ANY communication from ANYONE whatsoever. I find the whole episode deplorable and am disgusted at the sharp practices that were used to cheat freelance writers out of their fees.

Unfortunately I had only just started writing for their magazines and had yet to get paid for any of the three items I'd done. At least I can chase it up with the adminstrators now some vain hope of getting something back. I wonder what happens to the copyright on unpaid articles?
