16. Ok - You've made it this far, now let's discuss fees:                                        There is a one time Publishing Partnership Fee of $10 per article for publication in HouseWIfeMafia.  WHY:  This is a serious publication for serious writers.  A fee weeds out those who are not. This also helps cover some of our labor & promotional costs of putting your work online & promoting it.  WAIT TO HEAR IF YOUR WORK IS ACCEPTED FIRST!
    
17. As every emerging writer knows, it is
    extremely difficult to get published until you have been published.          We have created a Win/Win situation in providing a valuable opportunity to be published in a well known venue, allowing you to get a golden nugget on your writing resume all while getting your name and your work out there.   HousewifeMafia.com does not pay fees to writers at this time.

• We are not the be all and end all to decide what is good.
  

• Our themes are planned several  months in advance, and your work just may not fit with what we have
  coming up. Do try again later.

• You may want to try sending a different piece of your work.

NOTE:  Reciprocal arrangements are always nice. If you have a barter idea run it by us!

That is a nice way of making sure that we all do well.
