    I just read Suzanne's post about the Lapidary Journal, and I have to
    agree 100%.  I had an article published in the Journal last spring. 
    It was a long piece, and was totally technical.  I submitted the
    piece in Aug.  As it was my first attempt at being published, I
    didn't know what to expect.  I found the staff at the Journal very
    helpful, and easy to work with.  I did some technical writing in the
    corporate world, but it was by far not my strong point.  As the
    article was technical, it was sent out for a peer review before they
    agreed to publish it.  They had requests on the format of the
    manuscript and the photos, but there was never a discussion on the
    content.  It published word for word from my manuscript.  The photo
    layout was not one I would have chosen, but I understood the
    requirements of managing the page layout.  The only artistic license
    the staff of the Journal took was to give the article a title as I
    had failed to give may manuscript one. Mistake. 

    As to the artistic content of the Journal, I don't necessarily like
    every article I see, and sometimes I don't like most of them.. 
    However, there were without a doubt a number of people who were not
    happy to see my article, as it didn't have much to do with their
    interest either.  I have found that even the articles I don't like
    will sometimes provide an idea or a technique that was new, and
    therefore was worth reading.
