Never Was has always been a hobby for us and always will be. But being able to earn some money from it would go a long way to justifying the time we put into creating the magazine, plus it would be enormously motivating to know that people value our work.

All of us are freelancers. The more we can earn from writing for Never Was, the more we can write and the less time we need to spend on other projects.
