Syndication and portfolio

I am happy to allow paid-for republication of articles that I wrote as a freelance, and have done so for books (including titles published by McGraw Hill in the UK, Express Publishing in Greece and Systime Publishing in Denmark), and magazines, including companies' publications for customers.

To enquire about the availability of an article or to discuss this further, email the following details to mail [AT] samathieson.com: Title of article, Publication and date, Your name, Your email address, Telephone number, Proposed use. Please be patient, as I have a full-time job to do.

Please note: if you do not want to pay for re-use of an article, you are welcome to link to it if it is available online, but you are not authorised to use the text on your web-site (or in print or any other media). Unauthorised re-use of any of my articles is illegal. I run regular searches for such unauthorised re-use, and have taken action against this on several occasions.
