Juno Books

I understand, to an extent, why an author would want to know the rate of payment for BEST NEW PARANORMAL. Juno is not Random House. This is a new series. I’m not Ellen Datlow. Payment is a way of checking validity. I’m sure most of the inquiries are due to these factors.

At the same time, if you are motivated primarily by payment to submit to BNPR2 — please don’t bother. The idea is to honor and showcase your story as one of the “year’s best”. The only right being purchased is *nonexclusive* world anthology reprint. Yes, we pay. Minimally. A token amount.

Wildside/Prime decided to stretch the schedule out and do two books a month instead of three, so now we are set through July. The descriptions (below) are still fairly close, although they have been tweaked and polished a bit. Will put those up on the site, soon.
