40 publications paying $1/word
Part One of a new series of posts with publications paying $1/word & more.
Ready to earn $1/word from your writing?
Welcome to Part One of a new series from the Freelance Writing Network. Every 2–3 weeks, you’ll get a fresh batch of publications that pay $1/word for freelance writing.
These rates don’t come around as often as we’d like, but this list is full of outlets that do pay well, based on reports from writers, past editor guidance, and conversations I’ve had with freelancers.
Each entry includes pay details, editorial guidelines (where available), and direct submission links. Everything you need to pitch your next idea and land a commission.
Stay tuned for Part Two, coming at you in early August!
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.
