FAQ

We are an online editorial that covers culture, life, romance, style, internet behavior, and our very own New York City. Our regularly-occurring columns and one-off pieces reflect a monthly theme. We felt there was a need for a place to have more fun with writing while making friends in the process. Our goal is to champion the writer and their unique voice, to provide them with an audience, and to introduce readers to new ideas.

We are currently a non-funded, for-fun project. We do not generate revenue at this time. We are built and powered by our community, and we are grateful to those who chose to be part of Byline’s early days.

We began as a bootstrapped, for-fun project. We were built and powered by our community, and we are grateful to those who chose to be part of Byline’s early days. All early contributors to Byline agreed to contribute on an unpaid basis. Our plan was always to pay our writers as soon as we are able to, and to pay them before ourselves. We have now reached that goal.
