FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions

Below we have answered a few general questions. If you have any other questions or concerns, please feel free to contact us.

Why is there a fee to submit a story?
Although you do not have to be a professional writer or videographer to get paid for your story, we will only pay for quality stories. It is very time consuming to search through and consider each submission. Charging a nominal fee promotes submissions by those who are serious about getting paid and have taken the time to compile a quality story. For each story you submit , you will receive 1 copy of the current volume, in book or DVD format, depending on which format you have submitted.

How many stories will be chosen for each Series?
Each Series will have up to 12 Volumes, each with a book and DVD release for each volume. Total Volumes in a Series will depend on the number of quality stories we receive on its particular subject. In some cases, a Series may be expired before the 12th Volume at the sole discretion of Amazing Life Productions. The total number of stories chosen for each Volume will depend on the length of each story and the requirements to create a quality product.

Is the "Keeping it Real Series" limited to the current list of projects? Will others be added?
There is no limit. The current projects list will be updated on an ongoing basis. As Series become expired or near expiration, new subjects will be added. Check back regularly to find out about our Current Projects. Have a suggestion for a new subject for which you have a story to submit? Please let us know.

May I submit more than 1 story for consideration?
You may submit 1 story per subject per each book and DVD series, but you may submit a different story for each of the different series. Each submission requires the nominal submission fee and you will receive 1 copy of a book or DVD for each submission. More specific information can be found within the Getting Paid and Submit Your Story pages.

Will I have to pay taxes on what I am paid for a story?
You will be responsible for paying all applicable taxes. To get paid for your story, Amazing Life Productions will require a Form W9 be on file for you. Only in cases where you've earned $600 or more, will you receive from Amazing Life Productions a Form 1099 to file with your taxes, however, you are still responsible for paying any and all applicable taxes required, regardless of the amount of your earnings. If you are uncertain about your tax responsibilities, please consult an attorney or tax professional.
