Yesterday, something epic happened. Thanks to Raging Swan Press's tremendously generous patrons, we are now able to pay our freelancers nine cents a word! That's huge. In fact, it's beyond huge.
Last March, just 13 months ago, when we started our Patreon campaign, we paid the industry standard rate of 1 cent a word. We simply couldn't afford to pay more, if we wanted to stay in business. But, with our patron's support we've slowly and surely increased our pay rates. It's thanks to all 107 of them that we are where we are today.
There is--of course--more to do (there's always more to do) but I'm tremendously proud of what we've achieved together.
Thank you to everyone who's supported Raging Swan Press on it's quest to pay its freelancers a decent rate of pay!

As a writer myself, I can confirm that this is the kind of pay that makes people want to write for you and put forth their best effort while doing so. ^^ I'm looking forward to seeing where you go from here.
