I think you’ve got this a bit twisted, particularly with the notion of for-profit organizations taking with no compensation. Speaking strictly in short fiction, frankly, the vast majority of magazines lose money. Of the magazines that don’t lose money, the vast majority of those don’t make enough to earn the producer/editor(s)/first readers/etc. anything resembling minimum wage. The exceptions are a mere handful: the big 3, Tor, Uncanny Magazine, Clarkesworld, maybe Nature’s Futures section.
- leephillips 4y agoUhh, this thread started with somebody giving their work away to Tor.
- SamoyedFurFluff 4y agoNo, the article in question is about a person who was paid over a thousand dollars for their work to be purchased by Tor.
- leephillips 4y agoI’m not talking about the article. Look at the comment that I originally replied to.
- SamoyedFurFluff 4y agoThat person was about someone who got paid 50$ at a completely different place?? Am I missing something?
- leephillips 4y agoNo, my mistake.
