Author's rights
Qu requires First Rights to publication (electronic and print). All rights revert back to authors upon publication. We, however, post online a number of the works we publish and they remain available on the archive section of the website after print publication, and so require Non-Exclusive Electronic Rights. Not all published pieces are posted online.
Additional info
Pays*! $100 per prose piece, $50 per poem or visual art. Copies. Contributors also receive a copy. *Unfortunately, we cannot pay for contributors who are US citizens living abroad or non-US citizens at this time. Payment for publication in this case will be five copies of magazine.
