I wrote back
in June about Media Shower. It was all going really well back then and you can
check out my Media Shower review for yourself right here.
However,
things have changed now. Since September 2013, I’ve heard nothing from my
editor or from the owner of the company. I’ve sent a few emails asking
questions but nothing.
I am happy
to say that they don’t owe me money. Everything was paid on schedule in
September 2013 and I did a couple of revisions on pieces that, really, weren’t
my fault as the instructions didn’t state anything of the sort initially.
However, the lack of communication and answers has left a sour taste in my
mouth.
As a writer,
I would never drop off the planet. If a client wanted answers to questions, I’d
give them. If I didn’t quite have those answers yet, I’d be upfront and honest
about that. I wouldn’t just ignore the emails. It is unprofessional of a
company and it’s a shame that my Media Shower review has had to change so much.
Maybe the
company is going down or maybe there isn’t the work available at the moment.
However, surely the company should have said something. Just a polite “sorry, no work available right now” or “after a few months, we’ve decided you don’t
fit our style” would be enough for me. I’m not bothered about the actual
answer; I’d just like one!
What
are your thoughts on Media Shower? Have you had a positive experience
suddenly turn sour? Are you a writer and have just found that there is no
communication?
