What To Expect
All submissions are reviewed. If a submission is selected, a licensing agreement is entered between Phase 5 and the creator. Then works are edited and revised as necessary to come to a final, professional, publishable product. The work is published in one or more of Phase 5’s publications, on the website, through third-party distributors, and is available for sale. Creators will receive royalty payments in accordance with their licensing agreement, but is generally 25-50% of the net profit per sale for all sales of their work individually or in collections and anthologies. Creators will also receive income from patronage garnered through Phase 5’s website and other methods of soliciation of the same.
