SayWhatYouPay

Banshee Press is currently funded by the Arts Council and commits to upholding its Paying the Artist policy.

• For contributions to Banshee literary journal, we pay: €300 for a story/essay; €100 for flash fiction; €75 per poem. 

• Banshee Press authors receive advances in the range of €1000–€5000. We hope to increase these rates with future publications.

• For events, we cover the cost of travel where the writer is travelling outside their county of residence. We also cover accommodation where the length of travel involved and/or the start time of the event necessitates it.

• We are committed to paying artists within 14 days of work being delivered.

• We ensure that writers’ copyright is respected, both in terms of moral and economic rights.      

• We believe in the importance of transparency on matters of pay and working conditions, and that sharing this information publicly is to the benefit of all writers.
