Recently, on LinkedIn, someone representing the New York Journal of Books (http://www.nyjournalofbooks.com/) posted a message looking for SF/F reviewers. Looking at their site, and the way in which they made their request, it appears that they are a fair sized, professional book reviewing/news journal, or at least TRYING to be such. The impression of a professional site was further strengthened when they informed us that they only reviewed books submitted by the publisher and were interested in traditional print, not self-published novels.
Yet when I inquired about the pay rate, they said they didn't pay for reviews.
Am I wrong in thinking that this is utterly unprofessional behavior? If I write an article -- be it a review, an Op-Ed piece, etc. -- for any professional print magazine I know of, I'd be paid for that article.
