A note from Emily:

Bel Esprit provides a platform for artists to publish their work.

We pay $25 per piece to all artists, but we don't charge you for enjoying their work.

I do not keep a dime of the profits for myself. It all goes back to keeping Bel Esprit alive. Considering contributing to the project.
