I've never heard of anyone ever actually receiving royalties from any of their titles. So be cautious folks.
The publisher stopped by to comment on a post last year, Dusty, and he said he has made payments on some of the anthologies. But, you're right, everyone should proceed with caution no matter where you submit.
At first, I thought Dusty was going to say, "I've never heard of anyone ever actually receiving royalties from shared-royalties deals."
I've seen so little return on straight shared that I don't even bother. If the editor can't scrape together a $5 advance against shared royalties .....

You're right, Stephen, there's no reason why they can't at least pay the authors $5 up front.
