Congruent Spaces Magazine is currently paying one special contributor’s copy of our magazine in PDF format, plus a one month free membership to our online magazine where you will have access to previous editions of our magazine. Although we may, at our sole discretion, offer additional recompense at any time, any such payment is not guaranteed. Nor does any such payment guarantee future payments. It is my hope and initial goal to generate enough income through sales of the magazine to be able to offer guaranteed payment for future volumes.

When you submit your work to Congruent Spaces Magazine through CongruentSpaces.com you agree, should your work be selected for inclusion in Congruent Spaces Magazine, to grant Congruent Spaces Magazine the right to publish your work in a single issue of Congruent Spaces Magazine, in multiple formats. This includes the right to publish the issue in which your work appears both individually and packaged together with other issues.

Single Issue: You grant Congruent Spaces Magazine the right to publish your work in one edition or issue of Congruent Spaces Magazine.

Multiple Format: You grant Congruent Spaces Magazine the right to publish your work (in one in issue of congruent Spaces Magazine) in multiple formats for different electronic devices and readers.*

*After initial testing, we have decided to use smashwords as the primary platform for publishing the retail editions of our magazine. This will allow us to format our magazine a single time for publication in the widest possible variety of electronic formats (including PDF, Mobi and Epub) and have it distributed through major retailers (such as the Kindle on Amazon.com, the Nook through Barnes & Noble and iBooks through Apple) rather than having to format each issue multiple times ourselves for each individual retailer.
