FREELANCE PROGRAMS

We are now offering two types of work for freelancers, as outline below.

Each project is up to 2,500 words and pays.03 to .05 cents per word, depending on your experience. We will provide guidelines and overall concept for each project. Please contact us a submissions@bloodstone-press.com for more information.

Product Development

If you have an idea for a project, contact us about it at submissions@bloodstone-press.com. We will give you some feedback and guidance for development. If we have appropriate stock art available, we will make you aware of it at this time. Any additional preparatory or confidential information we have about the setting will be made available to you as well, as long as you agree to a standard non-disclosure agreement. When you have finished your manuscript, send it to us. We will handle the layout and post it for sale. We will pay you 50% royalties of all sales of your title.

Artwork

We have a small catalog of stock art and public domain images that you are welcome to use for your project. Any other artwork is your responsibility. We will discuss this in more detail during the development process.

Pricing and Payment

We will work with you to determine a price for your title, based on content and length.  

We participate in most site-wide sales on DriveThru. Any sales made at a discounted price would have a subsequent impact on your royalty payment. For example, let’s say your title normally sells for $1, and you are collecting 50 cents for each of those sales. If DriveThru does a 30% off sale, people would buy your title for 70 cents. You would therefore receive 35 cents for each of those sales.

You will be paid 50% royalties on all sales of your title. You must have a user account set up with DriveThru to receive these payments. Payments are made automatically according to DriveThru’s terms.

 Checklist Before You Submit

·       Your content follows the format and guidelines of the appropriate game system (5e, Modern, or M&M) and does not violate any copyrights or trademarks.

·       You have all necessary licenses and rights pertaining to any artwork you submit.

·       The manuscript you submit is your own work.

·       Any game rules you have created are balanced, fair, and clearly written.   

 After You Submit

We will handle the formatting and layout and post it for sale. Once it is posted, you can check your sales in real time using DriveThru's Freelancer Royalty Reporting Tool. Your earnings will be automatically deposited into your DriveThru user account.
