Speculative Fiction Ireland

Speculative Fiction Ireland (hosted by Temple Dark Publications Ltd. will facilitate the sale of Members' e-book(s) and/or artwork, and will forward 80% of net receipts from each sale to the respective SFI Professional Member. "Net receipts" is the amount received by Speculative Fiction Ireland following payment processing fees. Payment processing fees are typically (as they are set by the respective payment faciltator; e.g. PayPal, Apple Pay, Google Pay, etc.) 2.9% of full amount +$0.30 (platform operates in USD base currency, so always allow for real-time conversion). For example, if an e-book or print is sold at €/$5.00, SFI will receive €/$4.555 (5.00-0.445 [0.145+.30}). SFI Members will receive 80% of this "net receipt", which is €/$3.64. As a real world example, a recent (Mar 29 2025) e-book sale saw net receipts of €2.63 from a €2.99 sale (compare approx. €2.05 from a €2.99 sale on Amazon KDP). If you have any further questions about this process before deciding whether to sign up, don't hesitate to contact us.

Other than this, we do not take any responsibility for the presentation of your title(s) or artwork, nor are we responsible for or assume any liability for any of the content therein; nor will we undertake any work to improve or alter the content therein. You as the author, artist and copyright holder will assume all responsibility, legally, morally, or otherwise, for your own content. Any impact on sales due to the quality and content of your work will be borne completely and ultimately by you, the author, and will not reflect on SFI or Temple Dark Publications Ltd.. SFI and Temple Dark Publications Ltd. hereby waive responsibility for any and all content considered offensive in any way; as well as any and all content infringing upon the copyright of any other author; and/or for any outcome which could not have been otherwise foreseen by anyone who has/had not read your work prior to facilitating its sale in the SFI store.
