Editorial Issue

**"* B* <l*@msn.com>**

Hello, wise and experienced writers!

I really need some help with a very sticky situation. The editor I write for (a relationship of nearly 10 years) has several publications under his control. My regular monthly column goes into just one of them that covers about 15,000 homes in Northwest CT. My most recent paid column on "Gifts for the Gardener" went in as requested and expected. However, I just found out today that he also used the column with photos (Noel, the Cobra Head photo made it!) for another publication which reaches an even larger geography. Of course, I'm pleased that my work is getter wider viewing, however, I'm not so excited that this wasn't discussed with me, especially as it relates to compensation.

Obviously, I don't want to poison the well since I'd like to keep this writing gig. On the other hand, I also don't want my editor to think that he can get my work for free so to speak. I'd appreciate any suggestions anyone may have, especially if this is something that's to be expected or if you've had similar experiences. Is this something I should mention in gratitude or ignore or tactfully probe for additional comp or ????

Thanks, as always.
