Payments / Renumeration
The Enter… series will pay for each story used in the range of $0.01-0.08 per word (averaging close to $0.03 per word). People who have stories for each of the works accepted with the same world will receive a boost on each consecutive story. An example: Say TANSTAAFL thinks your work is worth 3c per word on your story in …Apocalypse. Then you submit a story from the same world to …Aftermath. Assuming it is accepted you would get 3.5c per word on that story.
TANSTAAFL Press will pay upon the finalization of three criteria:
- Acceptance of your edited work
- This means if there are changes requested that they have been completed.
- Signed contract with TANSTAAFL Press for publication of this work
- Come see our tentative contract. It hasn’t been fully vetted but it will be close.
- All works for publication have been accepted and signed.
- That is, we will pay you when we have the full manuscript in hand.
- You will not have to wait for TANSTAAFL Press to actually publish.
