Attention!

Starting in Issue 4 Peasant Magazine will be paying a small stipend to contributors, a sum of $0.01 for every 10 words. Thus a 6,000 word short story will pay $6 USD. We purchase both reprint rights and first world-wide publication rights. You should be aware that if your story is published by Peasant Magazine you will no longer be able to sell first publication rights to another publisher. So if you want to get paid more we recommend publishing elsewhere and then you can always submit to Peasant Magazine later for reprinting after you've already been paid by a different publisher.

ARCANE TOMES

Arcane Tomes / ArcaneTomes.org is an indie fantasy bookstore (of sorts) sponsored by Peasant Magazine and serves to promote Indie Fantasy Books, and also serves to promote Peasant Magazine itself.

Joining Arcane Tomes is free and the only requirement is that authors must have self-published at least one book. Literary magazines/journals that publish fantasy stories by indie authors are also acceptable.
