Want to pitch or submit creative or literary nonfiction but not sure where to send it?

You're in the right place. Today I’m sharing an up-to-date list of publications that pay for creative nonfiction writing (which you might know as literary nonfiction, narrative nonfiction or literary journalism). Some publications even pay as much as $2000 for accepted work.

I've included lots of information on pay rates, editorial guidelines, and submission links. Everything you need to pitch or submit your latest ideas and earn that next commission!

Not sure if creative nonfiction is for you? If you’ve ever told a personal story, reflected on an experience, or found yourself explaining how something felt rather than just what happened… you’ve already started. This list spans everything from memoir to reported essays, so even reading through might spark your next idea.

If you have insights into specific pay rates, or if you've been offered different terms than those listed here, please let me know via email at thefreelancewritingnetwork@gmail.com or by messaging me on Substack.
