links for research -- markets paying in sterling or practical equivalent

[julesjones]

Just collecting some links for further research -- I'm hunting up markets that pay by methods that are practical from the perspective of someone whose payment options are UK sterling cheque or electronic transfer to a UK sterling bank account, Paypal, usefully-spendable-in-UK gift vouchers, or actual bank notes. In other words, someone for whom US$ payment by banknote or Paypal or even Amazon UK gift certificate is fine, US$ check has value only as fire lighting material. I do not endorse any of these in any way, I'm just collecting stuff here for later consideration under the usual sanity checks.

Xcite Books themed anthologies with some interesting themes coming up, 2-4k, £50, no reprints

Paid in US$, but Xcite and Audible UK, so may be UK-friendly. Deadline end April, but interesting short story premise.

2.5 3.3 or 5k, sterling payment

http://www.circlet.com/?page_id=11
Circlet's looking for fiction, micro-fiction, blog posts, podcast etc - payment by Paypal or in kind (in kind by ebooks only for non-US authors edited for clarification -- if you're outside the US and want payment in kind rather than by Paypal, it's only ebooks, not print books, owing to cost of postage).

http://erotica-readers.com/ERA/AR/Total-e-Bound.htm
Total-e-bound - UK based, 10-100k

http://erotica-readers.com/ERA/AR/For_The_Girls.htm
Flash fiction, columns, payment by electronic transfer

http://erotica-readers.com/ERA/AR/Oysters_Chocolate.htm
Fiction, poetry, articles, payment by electronic transfer

http://erotica-readers.com/ERA/AR/ThreePillows.htm
Fiction, poetry, articles, reviews, payment by electronic transfer

http://riptidepublishing.com/faq#t12n51
Fiction, pay by electronic transfer, but note that it's effectively invite-only, and expects heavy marketing efforts from the authors

http://erotica-readers.com/ERA/AR/Readerotica.htm
fiction 2.5k, Paypal or in kind

I'm informed that Musa and Changeling also have feasible options.

FYI, for any overseas author who wants Paypal on regular royalty checks, Circlet will do that, too. (Not just microfictions.) We still prefer the good ol' paper check for US author royalties, but for overseas they make no sense.

And I've only just realised that what I wrote when scribbling notes is misleading to anyone who isn't just using it as a memory jogger... Sorry about that, I've clarified it now.
