Many sub calls offer royalties only, and often with terms such as 'a fair share' or 'based on quality' which I don't find confidence-inspiring.
In cases where the publisher and editor seem to have a track record, it seems possible the royalties might come to something, yet it also seems possible that the pay per contributor ends up amounting to next to nothing.
So far, I keep leaving the royalty-only calls at the bottom of my list, because I have no way to quantify them and I'm doing a top-down submission process. I lost all interest in "for-exposure" publishing many years ago.
For those of you who submit to these calls, how do you decide if they're worth a try?
Any success stories?
