# Author and Artist Contracts

The managing editor, publisher and treasurer send and sign our contributor contracts through DocHub.

Authors and artists keep the copyright on their contributions, but grant us a non-exclusive license to republish the work in print and online, and to reproduce it for reasons such as promoting our magazine and making the article itself accessible. 

The contract also outlines payment amounts, kill fee guidelines, and a manuscript preparation and delivery agreement.
