To provide Free Access to our readers on lovethepen.com.au, we use a business model to offset expenses – including those of content production, management, online hosting and archiving – by charging a publication fee to funders for some of the content we publish. This system is fair, it eliminates the reliance on advertising being littered accross the website and provides a fair way of covering non-commercial posts – something we value.

The ability to pay publication fees will never be a consideration in the decision whether to publish.Publication fees vary by activity. Fees are per activity and and are billed upon acceptance. There are no additional charges based on frequency, length, figures, channels or other elements.
