I suggest you quit while you're ahead. There are enough people in
publishing who aren't doing it in their spare time. Why parallel the rip
off of artists in the music production biz by doing it to writers?  If you
are not going to pay anyone anyway why not just sample the reviews on this
list and credit yourself?

Oh, and what's the name of this rag that I plan to avoid.  Good Music And
Martyrdom Monthly?  LA Dreamers Review?
