As in, get asked to write something to get someone out of a hole when something else falls down.

Agree a price, turn it around in a couple of hours and file it. Then never get paid for it. Sound familiar..?

What would you advise..?

You're making a point, Chris, but I don't know what it is...

It wold seem to me that Chris was asked to write somthing to get someone (Mark?) out of a hole when somthing else fell down.

He agreed a price, turned the piece out in a couple of hours, filed it and then never got paid for it.

Could be wrong though.

Nice one Mark. As in you contacted me, asked me to do something and I never got paid for it.

Phoned the accounts department you referred me to when I called to chase up the payment and they'd never heard from you.

I'd have put this down to experience, but when you start offering advice on how to get into journalism I wonder really.

Having been a journalist for the best part of my working life, profession built on trust, people ring up and need something done at short notice etc.

Hope this clarifies.
