Our short-fiction series, called ‘The Short Story Reinvented’, is designed for today’s busy, but discerning, reader.

No payment? Why not? Is a writer's time not worth something? If you can't pay the writers when you put together an anthology, you should wait until you CAN.
Perhaps they pay royalties. You can always contact a publisher and ask.
