Yes We are a Paying Market.
- So, you're not going to get rich, and you'll probably never pay any of your real bills with what we pay for submissions, but you might buy a beer and a pack of smokes. Hell, if we're all really lucky, we might even be able to afford a microbrew, but that may be pushing things.
We're all writers or artists — if you weren't, you wouldn't be reading this. If we weren't, we wouldn't be writing this.
We have a pretty unusual business model, but we think it's fair and works to help the content creators as much as possible.
We're all going to split the profits. Every issue we sell will be split three ways: 50 percent of sales go to the writers in that issue, divided equally. 30 percent of the sales go to the graphic people, again split equally among those who make the cut. The editors get 20 percent.
We will pay you for every issue sold for one year from release date. Annual superscription royalties will be paid once (the month the issue is released).
Will you get rich? Nope, but you'll be fairly compensated monthly for a year, and you'll get a publication to brag about.
