20 publications paying up to $2 per word!
It's not all doom and gloom when it comes to pay for writers, I've put together a list of 20 publications that are paying writers $2 or more per word.
Hello!
Welcome to this premium edition of the FWNN. I’ve put together a collection of 20 publications that, from my research, are paying writers $2 per word. Sadly it’s an increasingly rare rate to find, so I’ll try and update this list as and when I find more.
These publications vary hugely in the content they cover from women’s fashion, parenting, science, technology, politics, culture and so much more. Whatever you write about, there’s something for you here.
If you haven’t already read them, make sure you check out the other recent FWNN premium posts:
Please note that rates can and do change on the fly, these are all accurate as of my research and recent reports from writers.
