Douglas Lance (douglance) | 5 comments Hello writers of Goodreads!

Doug Lance, Editor-in-Chief of eFiction Publishing, here to announce that eFiction is going paid!

Starting with next month's issues, all writers who contribute to magazines produced by eFiction Publishing will be compensated with royalties from individual issue sales starting one month after publication until *the end of time*. The magazines included are: eFiction, eHorror, eSciFi, eFantasy, eRomance, eSteampunk, and eNoir.
As always, I am open to feedback and for people to participate with the company. Volunteer and internship positions available.

*Submission Guidelines:*

Rights
We want one month exclusivity for your story. So when your story runs in one of the magazines, from when the day the issue comes out for one month it cannot be up anywhere else online. After that one month exclusive period, you can republish the story elsewhere. This means that previously published work (as long as you hold the rights to it) is OK, and after the one month exclusive period, you may publish the work elsewhere.

Story Selection
Placement in issues is determined by a peer committee of volunteer writers and readers. Apply to join the committee of submissions readers (https://efictionmag.submittable.com/s...). Joining gives you a vote on all stories submitted in the genre(s) of your choice.

Submissions that are declined are encouraged to be posted in The Workshop for feedback and resubmission. The Workshop is a closed group for eFiction writers (work posted there cannot by accessed by any person or program other than registered eFiction members). It uses Google Docs in combination with a point incentive system to promote high-quality, precise feedback. Apply to join The Workshop (http://efictionmag.com/groups/workshop).

Compensation
Writers who contribute a piece of writing are entitled to a lifetime royalty on individual issues sales. The participating writers for each issue split 50% of individual issue sales revenue. So from a month from the day the story is released, until the end of time, our system will track sales of issues your stories are in and have an account for you which will pay out automatically as soon as the total amount is enough to make sense to send your way. A royalty agreement will be included with acceptance letter.

Circulation
The magazines are up for subscription sale through Barnes and Noble(http://www.barnesandnoble.com/c/efict...) and the eFiction website(http://amzn.to/eFicMag). B&N is a new placement, so we don't have numbers yet for most magazines. eFiction Magazine has a few hundred subscribers there already. eFiction Magazine(http://www.amzn.to/eFicMag) alone is available for subscription sale through Amazon. The majority of our subscribers get us through Amazon. I am under an NDA to not disclose numbers but I can say that we are above 1000 and below 5000 subscribers. We are working hard to expand distribution of subscription options.

Individual issues, the sales that generate cash for writers, are sold **everywhere** ebooks are sold. eFiction Magazine, the most literary of the bunch, is in the Top 5 Best Rated Arts & Entertainment magazine in the Kindle store. Sales data of these issues is available upon request(http://is.gd/pVrhRB). We are releasing print versions later this year that will be in bookstores worldwide.
