120 publications paying $1/word
Real markets, real rates: $1/word outlets you can start pitching today.
Welcome to Part Three of publications paying $1/word for freelance writing, meaning you’ve now got access to 120 publications that pay top rates for your work.
These kinds of rates don’t come around as often as we’d like, but this list is packed with outlets known to pay well based on a mix writer reports, editor guidance, and conversations I’ve had with freelancers.
Each entry includes pay details, editorial guidelines (where available), and links to editors. Everything you need to pitch your next idea and land a commission.
If editorial guidelines aren’t listed, be sure to research the publication thoroughly and check Contact or Masthead pages for the right editor to pitch. Read my guide to pitching outlets without guidelines here.
