Fair Submissions

  Full details  Why submit to us? - WE PAY PROFESSIONAL RATES. It’s hard work writing good stories, and you deserve to get paid fairly for it. Or maybe you don’t, and you’re just duping us? Regardless, we pay 8 cents a word for stories up to 2,000 words (well, 1,875, to be exact). Stories longer than this are capped at $150 payment. - NO SUBMISSION FEES. We’re not saying the other guys are getting rich off $3 per submission, but there’s something about the idea that we, as writers, have you pay you, the publisher, just for the privilege of rejecting our work with a form letter, bothers us. (Costs of running an E-zine aside) We’re going to go ahead and coin a phrase right here and now - ‘Write privilege’, get it? Of course, you do. - GET YOUR WORK IN FRONT OF A LARGE AND GROWING AUDIENCE. Our aim is fixed on telling good stories, period, and because of that we have built a massive readership from all over the globe. Want to get your stories out to more than ju...

  Full details  Amazon self-publishing is as significant to the written word as the first printing press Don't think in terms of traditional publishing. Thanks to Amazon Kindle Direct Publishing (KDP) a writer's creativity is no longer constrained by the whims of agents and mainstream publishers. Self-publishing is not the consequence of innumerable soul destroying knock-backs. Who cares if some twenty-something publishing exec isn’t impressed by your deepest thoughts, do you really need that validation? It’s reckoned to take ten years to close a book deal, if you get the breaks that is. Time’s a big factor if you’re of a certain age. Personally, I couldn’t wait for the enormous satisfaction of seeing my work in print. Right now, self-publishing could be your best option, but it doesn’t have to be a forever thing. It could just be your springboard to conventional publication. E L James’ Fifty Shades of Grey began life self-published, and has since sold 125 mill...
