Publication Policies
Once a piece is chosen for publication, Passager pays one contributor copy, plus offers a reduced rate for additional copies. We send out publication announcements to individuals and organizations at the author's request. Passager retains first-time rights; after publication, the rights revert to the author. If the author chooses to reprint the piece, we ask that Passager is given acknowledgment for printing it first. If you have any questions, please contact us: passager@saysomethingloudly.com
