WELCOME TO KOLALANDERS

  • THESE 70+ PUBLICATIONS PAY $1 A WORD (AND THEY’RE LOOKING FOR WRITERS)

  • Ever been told there are no well-paying
    markets left for freelancers and that it’s
    exceptionally difficult to make a living as a
    freelance writer?
    I’m ever-the-optimist because not only have I
    made a fantastic income from my writing for
    the 14 years of being a freelance writer, I’m
    also convinced that right now, today, you have
    more opportunities than ever to make
    freelancing pay. And pay well.
    I have been telling my readers and students for
    years that they do not have to choose. It’s not
    love or money, it’s love AND money.
    Today, I’d like to welcome you to my world,
    the world of The International Freelancer, where
    we believe that you should love the work you
    do, that you should be paid exceptionally well
    for it, and that you should get to have fun doing
    it.
    But where is all this high-paying work to be
    found?
    We decided to put together a list. These
    publications pay $1 a word or more OR a
    minimum flat fee of $500.
    This list of 70+ publications is not
    comprehensive. There are still dozens of
    publications that we are told pay more than $1
    a word, but which we haven’t been able to
    independently verify. We’ve also left out the
    names of editors from this blog post to spare
    them from spam emails, but we've included
    detailed names and contact information for all
    the editors in a downloadable pdf.
    If you’d like the pdf, you can get that here. .
    Here then, is the list. Happy pitching!
