Their Stories - Alex Mustard, John Bantin and Elaine Whiteford

I'm very grateful to Alex Mustard, John Bantin and Elaine Whiteford for their contributions to my blog on how they got into the world of diving related photojournalism.

This is your invite to join them.

I'm fascinated by the different routes people have taken to get published and I hope this section of my blog will become a source of inspiration for others.

So, if you would like to join Alex, John and Elaine, and you have had an article published in your: club newsletter, website, magazine, local newspaper, anywhere, or you are hoping to, and you haven't quite got there yet, I would love to hear from you.

PM, comment or e-mail via the site.

Go on, drop Brendan a line and you, too, could see your name in the same sentence as Alex Mustard and John Bantin! Does that mean I've made it??

Thanks for the link to John's site, I've added it to my site. John didn't tell me he had a website?

You see - he's quite a modest chap really!

Maria Munn has now added her story to the site.

Waiting in the sidelines preparing their story are Mike Veitch, Gavin Parsons, Miss Scuba and Charles Hood.

Anyone else? Even if you have only had one article published, or you prepare the club newsletter, your story is of interest to others.

A big thank you to wetpixel moderators Cor Bosman and Julie Edwards for adding their story to Brendiver's World

Their account of how they succeeded in getting published has several lessons for anyone else thinking of going down the same road.
