As part of our weekly effort to find paid publishing opportunities for writers, here is a list of 5 publishers that pay writers.
Pay information has been included for some of these publishers – but not all. Pay rates are often negotiated with the publisher directly. If you want to learn more about negotiating pay, getting a solid client base, and building a freelance writing career, I highly recommend this book.
