PROFESSIONAL SERVICE FEE
This is NOT a publication fee. All NATIONAL FORUM JOURNALS are financially self-supported through
library subscriptions, individual subscribers, and donations. This allows us freedom from intellectual
bias. The professional service fee helps us to cover expenses pertaining to the national refereeing
process, mentoring, communicating with authors, escalating printing costs, domain name registration,

2. website hosting, webmaster fees along with other costs of advertising, marketing, and promoting our
authors and their literary works globally in NATIONAL FORUM JOURNALS.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
How to Determine Your Professional Service Fee
Manuscripts are assessed $25.00 per double-spaced page. There will also be an administrative
manuscript fee of $125.00 for preparing manuscripts for publication.
For example, a 10 page manuscript would cost $375.00. (10 pages @ $25.00 = $250.00 + $125.00 =
$375.00)
