Transparency

For full transparency, we'll be sharing our exploration of fees to get the anthology printed here.

For the current budget, we anticipate the following:

.07/word to the author for publication
.048/word for development editing
.024/word for edit round 2
.02/word for copyediting (grammar, spelling)
.01/word for layout to get the manuscript print-ready

The print-on-demand version with a distributor like IngramSpark in the United States will mean we do not bear the costs of production. 

Anvil Publishing or a similar larger printing house will be our target for Philippines print runs.

For the softcover we prefer to use Union and BIPOC-owned printing houses.

On the wishlist right now is:
Radix Coop in Brooklyn, New York (union, Black-led)

This page to be updated as we move toward publication, expected October 1, 2027.
