INDUSTRY
SPECIAL NOTE: OMNI Reboot Offering the full run of the magazine for $2.99 per copy. SFWA has inquired of Omni and has received no response as to whether authors are being paid for reprints. The SFWA forum is asking authors whose fiction appeared in Omni (1981 on) if they are receiving payment. (Much of the material used for Omni reboot was acquired during the auction of a storage locker in NJ that contained a lot of artwork and other materials stored there by publisher Bob Guccione.) You can read a bit more on File 770. (Item 3)
