Er,I'll be direct and very blunt here. How much do you get if you should be lucky enough to get published by the good folks at ABCtales? I really could do with a financial boost and if it means you have to read poems written about my girlfriend's smile,then I guess I can do it.

im sorry to say that it is very unlikely that even if a poem/story of yours were to be published in the abc magazine, that there would be any "recompense" financially, although i would think that most of the writers here publish their writing at the site only for recognition and nothing much else.
of course i could be wrong since i haven't checked the policy on publishing at the site.

Good news! You do get paid if a story or poem of yours is picked up for the magazine. At present, it's £25 for a poem, £50 for a short story. We're also planning anthologies for the future, although rates haven't been set yet for these. And we have an in-house literary agency looking out for the very best authors to present to publishers, so you could get publishing deal (we take a commission if our agency gets you a deal but nothing silly - not entirely sure how much it is cos that's not the area of the company I work in)
Hope this helps
Cheers
Emily

Well, I was the one who started 'Have I Got it Right?'.
And it was told to me that it was 25 pounds if you get published - anybody know what that is in Canadian money? I know it's great when the Americans pay me - thirty dollars ends up as 43 ... hate me yet? Hee hee!
Anyways, I am glad I got the answer when I posted that thread and I don't think I've ever seen a post of mine get that many responses anywhere - however, nobody was talking to me anyway - LOL - can't help laughing about it - I didn't even finish reading the thread, it was getting so ridiculous.
Carly :-)

Oops! Didn't mean to be rude there ... that wasn't quite right when I said 'nobody' was talking to me - thanks so much to you who did actually respond to me.

Hello Carly,
I use www.xe.com for converting money; for instance, Italian lire to euros, Canadian dollars to pounds sterling, etc. It's extremely quick and accurate and can accommodate amounts running into billions.
Good luck with your calculating!
