Dayjob Publishing was started in 2024 to find, promote, and encourage undiscovered authors and artists who maintain full-time jobs to pay the bills. We do this by offering contests, publication in anthologies, and more.
Our dream for the near future is to be able to pay authors for these stories and to help in publishing their books and other works. The ultimate goal is to have the means to sign amazing authors to contracts that allow them to quit the day jobs that take time away from the creative process if they so desire the same thing. Who knows? Maybe one day we’ll be able to do the same for artists in other fields.
Being able to support a family off of the income from writing or creating is just as rare as doing so by playing video games or sports. Just like athletes, singers, dancers, and actors, authors can spend decades honing their skills to perfection yet barely make a buck. Authors can work on their stories until they achieve a work of art that impresses all ten people who read it. They can win awards and prizes and still have to drive a forklift the next day so that their kids can eat.
These are the authors we are looking for. Some of the best writers in the world are the ones you have never heard of. We hope to change that.
If you are one of those authors, contact the editor of Dayjob Publishing at editor@dayjobpublishing.com
If you believe our cause to be worthy and wish to give financial, feel free to reach out to the editor as well. Every penny given will go into trying to help an author quit their day job and pursue their dream full-time.
