Additional info
Our readers are primary school children who respond well to texts that delight, intrigue, challenge and inspire them—texts written especially for them. Remember that our readers live in a multicultural, diverse society and that our magazines reflect this. Please note: at the moment we are looking for very short stories, plays and nonfiction. We especially require material for our younger readers (Countdown and Blast Off). Payment. We pay a repeat fee at half price, if a piece is reused in a printed version of the magazine. We pay $0.50c per word for fiction, articles and plays. We pay for poetry: 1-12 lines is $55; 13-24 lines is $105; 25-40 lines is $170, and over 40 lines is $230. Copies. We send two complimentary copies of the magazine to the authors of work in that magazine.
