Lamp Light has a call for new writers, and they are paying SIX CENTS A WORD. If you've never had a pro sale, this might be for you.
Here's the link: https://apokrupha.com/2021/08/30/lamplight-special-submission-call/
Here's the opening text:
We are going to take a new turn for the submissions. The criteria to submit will be as follows, the following statement must be true:
“If accepted, this would be my first pro-sale.”
And to make that true, we will be raising our pay scale to match:
6¢ (USD) per word (based on HWA guidelines)
5100 words MAX (firm)
Yes, this lowers the max word count, but that is to keep within budget. So this go-round, we will not take any stories over the word count. We’ve added a 100 word buffer, so target that 5,000 word mark as a max. (For this call, strong 1,500 – 3,000 word stories will fair best.)
One of the things we’ve loved over the years is finding new writers and showcasing them for the first time. These two issues are going highlight new writers and hopefully be just the first of many times you will read their work.
