REMUNERATION
Your story must be original work, with the digital rights unencumbered. Accepted stories will be paid at the flat rate of 2 cents per word, in return for the digital rights to the story. All other rights will remain with the author.
Third Flatiron will price and market your story to various e-publishing venues. We will format the story for the most popular electronic readers and platforms. You agree that we may distribute a sample (portion of the story) to potential customers.
For our first issues in 2012, if the story sales are greater than $25.00 US, we will also send royalties. Most hardcopy book publishers only provide 5% in royalties. We will return 70% of online sales greater than $25.00 to you. In the case of anthologies this will be split evenly among the authors in a collection.
For non-U.S. submissions, we prefer to pay via PayPal, if you have such an account.
Authors selected for publication will be entitled to one free online copy of the anthology.
