Freedom With Writing

This is a practical book for writers who are ready to get paid to write. It includes hundreds of publishers that accept queries, pitches, and submissions from freelance writers.

According to our research, all of these publishers pay for the writing they publish. All of them publish work from freelance writers. Many of them are not listed anywhere else, including the famous "Writer's Market."

In fact, if you're a writer submitting to publishers listed in the Writer's Market, you're shooting yourself in the foot. Because it is so popular and so widely distributed, you're facing very stiff competition.

The publishers in this book are less likely to be famous or widely known. Because of that, the discerning writer will have better odds of getting published. Less competition means higher odds of connecting with the right publisher.

Many of these markets are presented with expected payment information. This information should be considered a starting point for your negotiation with the publisher. Payment for some markets are "set in stone", while others are quite flexible.

Of course, there is quite a lot that goes into building a successful freelance writing career. If you're looking to launch your freelance writing career, I highly recommend The No B.S. Course on Freelance Writing.

While the majority of these markets are always open to submissions from freelance writers, some of them are closed to submissions from time to time.

Since the previous publication of this book, I have seen a rise in the number of quality blogs that pay writers decent rates for long-form writing. As the digital publishing comes into its own, I hope this trend will continue.

In 2018, I will continue to collect and present writing markets to our subscribers. To get our free updates, be sure to subscribe at

Note

This book is intended to be used as a research tool for writers. In it, you will find listings for hundreds of publishers that pay writers. The information has been vetted, but is not guaranteed to be accurate. The publishing world changes quickly. Publishers regularly out of business. They change their submission requirements, pay scale, etc. The information in this book is intended to serve as a starting point. The goal is to connect writers with publications that want to pay for their writing.

This book is updated on a regular basis. Be sure to subscribe to Freedom With Writing to get access to the updates.

How to Write a Pitch that Gets You Published

Before You Craft the Pitch

At 19 years old, Zachary Schwartz was determined to get published on Vice, a major website with millions of visitors a month.

He'd never been paid to write before and had never done any paid journalism.

But he was determined.

And he succeeded.

If you want to write a pitch that gets you published and paid for your writing, his story sets a very good example.

He did not start by writing a pitch and sending it to an editor at Vice. He did not start by thinking about his interests as a writer, and then carefully crafting every word of his pitch.

The first step he took, and arguably the most important step, was carefully studying the Vice website. He gained a deep understanding of what they published -- and what they would want to publish.

Then, and only then, was he ready for the next step.

But, surprise. He didn't write his pitch yet. There was more work ahead. He first had to get exclusive access to the material Vice
