determined by the editor and published on the USHPA Web site. This pay
schedule will apply to both writing and photography/artwork.

2. Payment will be made according to the terms of the contributor
agreement and according to the published pay scale.
3. If the author and photographer(s) for a particular article are two (or
more) different persons payment will be handled separately and will require
a signed contributor's agreement and an invoice from each person.

will be kept on file in the USHPA office.
