Gamut will include mostly fiction (some original, some reprints) but also columns, nonfiction, art, flash fiction, poetry, and maybe even a serial memoir or novella. Our word range is about 500-5,000 with the sweet spot being 3,000. We will pay ten cents a word for original fiction and three cents a word for reprints (which cannot be online anywhere).
