I wonder how they can afford $50.00 per story if they're new.

Every new paying market has to start by laying out upfront capital until revenues catch up.

I would be much more suspicious of a new market that said "We don't pay now, but will pay once we start getting revenue." That's the less professional option; what these folks are doing is the gold standard.

Fifty bucks isn't much money. It's highly commendable that they are paying, but hardly suspicious. Now, if they were startup paying New Yorker money, I might wonder where it's coming from, but fifty bucks for what might be a ten thousand word story? That's very, very little per word.

I'm wondering if any one has had an experience with this publication yet? Any problems or kudos?
