This collection of publications will give you a full 80 outlets that pay writers $1/word on commission.

Landing just one of these publications will earn you 100x or more than the cost of the collection!

These kinds of rates don’t come around as often as we’d like, but this list is packed with outlets known to pay well based on writer reports, 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.

If editorial guidelines aren’t listed by the outlet, be sure to research the publication thoroughly and check Contact or Masthead pages for the right editor to pitch.
