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:

• 22 publications paying $1+ a word.

• 17 publications paying $500+ per commission.

• The Freelance Writing Network's mega round-up of bursaries, prizes, submission calls, webinars and much more.

Please note that rates can and do change on the fly, these are all accurate as of my research and recent reports from writers.

• The New Republic is a liberal American publisher focused on domestic politics, news, culture, and the arts. They welcome freelance pitches and unsolicited submissions via email. Full details about what they want can be found here but pay is usually between $2-3 per word.

• MIT Technology Review is a digitally oriented independent media company that explains the social and political impacts of the newest technologies. The magazine is wholly owned by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and published bi-monthly. The magazine accepts pitches for news, features, profiles, op-eds, and more. They pay as much as $2 per word for reported pieces. Pitch details here.
