How often is the magazine published?
We are aiming to release new magazines on a bimonthly (that’s one every two months, not twice a month!) to quarterly basis.
What is the format of the magazine? Is every article based on one theme?
Every issue of Five out of Ten has ten articles: two each from five authors. The first five are chosen by the writers and don’t share a common theme, while the latter five are all dedicated to the same theme.
How much do writers get paid?
We split all profits from the magazine equally between the five authors (including the editor), minus transaction fees and the cost of maintaining the site’s hosting and infrastructure.
Purchasing and Payment
I don’t have a PayPal account/ UK bank account!
You can use any international credit or debit card to pay for Five out of Ten: you’ll see the option beneath the PayPal login box whenever you checkout.
I made an account. How do I get to my downloads?
If you created an account, you can log in from the link in the top-right corner of the window. The ‘My Purchases’ page will have a link to the latest versions of all issues you’ve purchased, including ePub and MOBI versions when they become available.
Your purchases will always be available to download through My Purchases, but please keep a copy on your computer just in case.
I didn’t register an account. How do I get my download?
You will have received a download link to the email address you provided – this is valid for 72 hours from the date of purchase. Check your spam!
If your download link has expired, please email us for a new link.
Who is eligible for a ‘Discount’ price?
Our standard price is £5. We think the magazine is worth that price, but we also want to reach as many readers as possible, including those on a limited budget. From time to time we’ll offer discounted prices. Five out of Ten works on an honours system: pay what you can afford.
