The internet is full of places where you can get paid to write.
“I love to write but I hate getting paid!” is something I’ve never heard anyone say.
More likely you’ve thought, “I love to write, but don’t know how to get paid/I’m tired of getting paid Dickensian prices.”
Luckily, there are a lot of paying publications out there and you don’t need a journalism degree or a million published samples to sell an idea.
To help you sort through all the publications out there (and filter out the ones that pay in “exposure.”), here’s a list of 150 publications that pay writers in 2021.
All of the entries link to the masthead or pitching guidelines for the publication. So, you’ll know exactly who to email or how to submit your story. Obviously, this isn’t a list of every publication ever, but it’s a good way to get going and start getting paid to write!
