Raised Our Pay To $75/Story
We got a donor to toss us a bone so we could raise what we pay those we publish. Effective today, we will be raising what we pay from $30 a short story to $75. Are you going to use that money to retire from your life of crime? Nope, but it’s better than a stick in the eye and its our way of say, “As we get more money, we will pay more money.”
