​​​​​​

CONTRIBUTOR PAY:

At present, we cannot pay contributors or provide contributor print copies. This will change as we grow and secure funding.

Contributors may receive a PDF copy of their own work upon request, at no charge.

​​​​​

PUBLICITY:

Magazine contributors are listed on our website, on the cover page of our magazine, and listed and/or tagged in social media posts closer to the time of publication. Our digital magazines are free to view as PDFs on our website and the link is sharable. However it is not possible to link to an individual work in a PDF due to the nature of technology. Blog contributors are highlighted individually on posting day via social media, with a sharable link to their individual work. The reason blog contributors are more easily searchable is due to the nature of SEO and differences in publication format. Contributors are welcome to tag themselves and share their work on social media, and we attempt to repost as much as possible. However, we cannot offer dedicated publicity for individual contributors.
