WT Update: Selection of Chris Pommier’s freelance clips online
I wrote for Lavender Magazine, a local gay/lesbian/queer focused print magazine in 2006-2007. However, in February 2007, they rolled out a new draconian contract for freelancers that would have forced me to give up all future rights to my work, and would have held me liable for future litigation against the magazine. I refused to sign it because of that, so they couldn’t give me any more work.
I really enjoyed working for them, and their wonderful editor at that time, Michael Moeglin. Though the magazine is rightfully critiqued as a glorified advertising pamphlet within the community, it does support good work, and some wonderful talent. Unfortunately, for some reason the publisher of Lavender has never archived the magazine’s content online. So, for about a year now, I’ve had physical clips sitting in my file drawer waiting to be released online to prospective editors and employers.
I finally made the time to scan, and place, those clips as pdfs on this blog. It took most of Saturday morning, but it was worth it.
