Really cool to hear the feedback! :)

You raise an interesting point about fixed prices; it’s something we’re looking at. At the moment authors and illustrators can set prices based on their existing experience in the newspaper and magazine market and we give a rough guideline in the FAQ. I appreciate your point about making that clearer, though.

And yes, we’re looking at introducing an offer system to help buyers and sellers reach a mutually useful price. Any thoughts you have on what would work for you would be welcome. You can email me, if you like, at julie AT allabouthtestory DOT com.

Good question about artwork delivery. The answer is… get in touch and we’ll make it happen:)

the reason im concerned about the pricing model is that i do not have an equal trust level as i do for ordinary consumer products. Because this is quite a niche site i kind of wonder how the author decides what their content is worth- i.e. do the authors put their work up with a per word charge and do the artists place similar prices on their work as they would in an art gallery?

it would be good if you made this more clear on the site. Also when you buy exclusive rights for artwork is there an option to pay extra for a canvas delivered?

Glad you like the site! Once you are an approved buyer with allaboutthestory.com you can see all the stories in full, along with the profile and previous work of the author, so you can make a decision about suitability before you buy. You can download and start using content you’ve bought immediately too.

Nice idea about a rating system:interested to hear any more thoughts you have on that.

Best, Julie
