22 Publications Paying for Writing About Technology, Gaming & Gadgets

Earn as much as $2/word pitching your technology, gaming & gadgets stories to these publications.

Hello writers!

Today I’ve created a list of publications that are paying writers and freelancers to cover technology, gaming and gadgets. All of these are open to pitches, and I’ve included accurate rates as best I can, from a mix of Who Pays Writers, discussions with colleagues and the information they share on their own website.

If a publication has no information anywhere about how much they pay, I don’t include them.

And of course, if you have more accurate or up to date pay rates from any of these publications then please let me know and I can update this post in due course.
