PUBLISHERS ATE
Literature in England mt the Moment
Prices Paid to

Detroit Free Press.
The Athenaeum, which ought to know a
good deal about literature, says that the
highest price ever paid by any magazine
for a continued story is $50 a thousand
words. which was received by George Mer-
Magazine. 1t adds that $50 a thousand words
have occasionally been paid for exceptional
short stories, but such a price as Mr.. Mer-
edith received for a serial has been hitherto
unknown.
If some one connected with the Athe-
naeum would take the trouble to call upon
a frst-class literary agent, he would ma
that the prices paid by the Pail Mall Mag
azlne are not at all exceptional. Mark
f fwai his he story. at l The American An tsTus cIaim m1ruS
Jerome K. Jerome received more than $50
a thousand words from the Idler for his
continued story. Novel Notes For the
same story he was offered a still higher
price by a syndicate, a price somewhere
between $50 and SO a thousand words, but
Mr.. Jerome gave the magazine the prefer
ence. Mr.. William Black is said to have re-
ceived more than $50 a thousand words for
every story he has published within recent
years. and DIR. Conan Doyle received from
the Idler for his coming story more than
$50 a thousand words. and the amount was
paid in cash more than a year before the
magazine could print the novel, before even
the story was written. in order 10 secure
it for the Idler.
AS far as short stories are concerned. $50
q thousand words is no unusual price. The
Idler has paid more than 500 a thousand
words for some of the short stories 1t has
published. The Youths Companion, of Bos-
ton, paid Tennyson s. a word for afpoem.
and il is an open secret thar an american
paid DR.. Doyle $50 a thousand words the
other day for q short story. But, of course.
every author does not get $50 q thousand
words. and a man must have a good deal OF
a name TO get even half that amount. The
prices which authors receive have been
greatly raised within the last few years by
the advent of new and enterprising maya
zines. The Pail Mall Magazine is noted for
its liOerality to authors. and its success.
both editorially and financially, is more
gratifying on that account. The big Ameri-
can magazines have always been exceed
ingly liberal in the price they paid for mat
ter. and the result justified the expenditure.
The old-style magazine is certainly doomed.
and as several new magazines are TO be
brought out during the next few months
the chances are that the prices paid to
weil-known authors will rise rather than
lower.
