I did work as an editor and am owed money. The publisher has decided to shut down the magazine. Is there any way to get the money I'm owed?

If the magazine went through liquidation bankruptcy and you were notified of the proceedings you may not have any recourse. If you were not notified of the proceedings, or if it was a reorganization bankruptcy then you may be able to recover something although probably not the full amount.

You need to file a proof of claim in the bankruptcy case. Depending on the type of plan, you may or may not get a distribution. Go to the bankruptcy courthouse in the town the bankruptcy was filed in for assistance in filing a claim.
