Could I ask a further question? Take a Break offered to buy my story a few weeks ago (my first sale!), and I sent off a signed contract and e-mailed my manuscript to them. Since then I've heard nothing, and my story hasn't appeared yet. Will the purchase order come at a later stage, or should I have received it by now? Many thanks.
Hi Patsy, Thanks to you and Kerry for printing the contents page of Fiction Feast, the trouble is it's so small I can't read it. Not sure if it's just me or whether anyone else has problems seeing it? Many thanks. Lisa
Another update courtesy of Kerry - thanks. This is from the October issue.
Yay! My first ever story in Take a Break!
ReplyDeleteDoes anyone know how long it takes to be paid?
Congratulations! You should have had a purchase order by now (contact Rosie if not) and payment will be in 2-3 weeks.
ReplyDeleteThsnks Patsy. Yes, have received the purchase order.

Congratulations!
ReplyDeleteThe purchase order comes a few days after publication, so you won't see that until your story is used. This can take a few months after acceptance.
Thank you for the information - much appreciated!
