Atlantean Publishing is not intended to turn a profit – in fact, the press makes a loss.
- There are no reading or publication fees.
- Contributors receive a complimentary copy of the issue their work appears in, or multiple copies of a solo-author publication.
- Other publications are sold for an amount intended to offset costs
