Date	Client & Topic	Format	Wordcount	Pay	Pay Format	Notes
3/25/2019	The Bark - Technology and Science	Both Print and Digital, Writing, Blog Post	1500 words	$300	Paid flat rate	Great communication, fast turn around on editing but well done
3/21/2019	VICE UK - News	Digital, Writing, Reported Story	1500 words	$500	Paid flat rate
3/19/2019	TechCrunch - Technology and Science	Digital, Writing, Reported Story	1800 words	$300	Paid flat rate
3/19/2019	GetYourGuide - Travel and Culture	Digital, Misc, Website content editing		$11	Paid per hour	All contact with the client was positive. The rate, however, is appallingly low for the technical and skilled work performed by the freelance content editors. Freelance content editors are expected to rewrite/edit a large amount of content (often unintelligible); correspond with clients; fulfil all the requirements of the content management system; follow internal style guides; keep up with regular changes to production and process; and read at least weekly email communications outlining areas of required improvement for the freelance team. All for 10 euros an hour.
3/14/2019	Euronews - News	Digital, Writing, Reported Story	400 words	$18	Paid per hour	Severely understaffed and lack of training so you have to be prepared to hit the ground running/ask other staff to help out. Friendly staff and multilingual teams but the work is monotonous. Lots or rewriting wire copy/translating other language team stories. Never go out for stories. Salary paid monthly. Company pays freelancers a 16.40 euro/day meal allowance and pay for trains/flights to/from UK/EU and provide modest hotel in Lyon. Shuttle is offered for early morning/late night shifts. Great for casual work but not if you want to do real journalism.

3/5/2019	Autodesk Redshift - Technology and Science	Digital, Writing, Reported Story	800 words	$500	Paid flat rate	Thoughtful editing includes copy editing and fact-checking. Edits limited to making the story clearer and better. A very friendly and collaborative experience.

3/1/2019	Square (Canada) - Business	Digital, Writing, Blog Post	1600 words	$500	Paid flat rate	I contracted with them to do a series of blog posts on ecommerce and marketing topics through a freelancer platform. I negotiated the pricing of each post based on word count, depending on the level of research required. The editing process was great. They were quick and provided clear feedback. I would definitely work with them again.

2/14/2019	Roadtripper - Travel and Culture	Digital, Writing, Reported Story	1100 words	$700	Paid flat rate	When assigned a story, I always ask for more -- as a personal rule. The editor said no, and I decided to take the job anyway.

1/26/2019	HelloGiggles - News	Digital, Writing, Reported Story	1500 words	$75	Paid flat rate	I appreciate getting paid for the work, but I wish it was a higher rate for the amount of reporting and work.
1/26/2019	Travel Dose - Travel and Culture	Digital, Writing, Blog Post	850 words	$0	Paid flat rate	I didn't know anything about the publishing process for this site, and wasn't given any notice of when my article was eventually published.

1/24/2019	Guardian - The Upside - Healthcare and Medical	Both Print and Digital, Writing, Reported Story	1000 words	$39	Paid flat rate	I often write for the Guardian but had never written for this section. It wasn't a great experience and very different from other Guardian departments where I'd had positive encounters. Non-responsive editor. A perfunctory reply several weeks after submission even though later stated article was fine (very disconcerting waiting game for a freelancer). Half the article was cut without discussion - most importantly, a very personal story from a trauma survivor whose sole purpose in agreeing to speak was to tell her story and make a difference. If the edit was required to focus the piece, that's absolutely fine - I'm not precious about this and respect editorial judgment. But there was no such discussion. Also because of the hard edit, the pay was far less than promised and several months after submission.

The essay started with about 700-800 words and ended up being about 1200 words. Was messaged a day after that they were working on a contract for me at $400. I think the rate tied more to the amount of success and ad revenue it bought in. Would work with them any time. Very pleasant, transparent, and reliable.

This is on stories with 25 references, all of which are from PubMed—translation: real scientific research. Plus, they strip your byline, replacing with the site's owner? Why is this the heartbeat of freelance writing? I know smaller companies like this can't pay as much as big titles, nor pay print rates, but there's got to be a better way.

8/16/2018	IDEO - Advertising and Marketing	Both Print and Digital, Writing, Copywriting	2000 words	$60.00	Paid per hour	Took advantage of my inexperience with rates to lowball me. Put the onus on me to determine what was fair while knowing I desperately needed the work. Hourly rates simply don't work unless the rate is extremely generous or the writer defines the work hours very narrowly. Not really consistent with IDEO's stated ("human centered") values IMO, but I suppose that's capitalism .

8/16/2018	Women's Health magazine - Nutrition and Fitness	Digital, Writing, Reported Story	800 words	$200.00	Paid flat rate	Payment isn't that prompt, but the editorial staff is in upheaval with Hearst buying Rodale, so I've had 5 editors in fewer than 9 months. Some editing changes my voice completely, inserts cringe-worthy lingo and never lets me look at it post-edit, pre-publish. But I was able to negotiate a tiny bit on pay.

If the contractor is worthwhile, you should not be questioned. If they go w/a lowball, don't despair. That means you've started to value your time and work, and it's a client you can do without in THE LONG TERM.

I hold two masters degrees plus a BS in chemistry. 3). four decades of experience in writing, editing, creating, 4). 18-year working relationship with client; they trust me and now simply say "send me your invoice" without even asking for a quote or questioning my fees, 5). PR value of the finished copy.

Then he asked for me to write a 500 word article on one of my topics. After I wrote it, he informed me that they only pay in crypto. Then later I found out they only pay once a month. So, I've decided to let that one go.
7/12/2018	Salon - News	Digital, Writing, Essay	3000 words	$150.00	Paid flat rate	Sold a 3000-word personal essay with a political bent. Picked up by Life editor. Editor was nice and no changes were made to my piece. My essay was widely viewed and shared--they got loads of advertising revenue off of me. But as of mid-June, they said they were behind on payments and would be paying freelancers and contractors as money came in. It's now mid-July (the piece was published in December) and I still have not been paid.

6/7/2018	Popular Mechanics - Technology and Science	Digital, Writing		$350.00		Worked with them for over two years and have given rate raises three times in that span. Usually responsive and edits are often solid. Work load can sometimes be tough since they want highly-sourced, researched pieces that compete with any print publication but only pay digital rates. In terms of travel, it can be frustrating when a piece clearly could benefit from it but it's rarely approved.

5/18/2018	Money Crashers - Personal Finance and Insurance	Digital, Writing		$0.10	Paid per word	They told me this was "more than they usually pay."

5/11/2018	Rolling Stone - Arts and Entertainment	Digital, Writing		$150.00		Worked with two different editors (both of them left since then) over course of about 18 months.

3/9/2018	The Guardian - Global Development - News	Digital, Writing	800 words	$168.00		Atrocious editing where the editors chop up sentences to save money, because they pay you by the word. Inserts grammatically incorrect copy into your writing. After publishing, editor will ignore invoice and any attempts to get paid. I was commissioned for an 800 word article but they only published 400 words, destroying my rate and making this the lousiest pay for an article in recent memory. Would avoid them altogether.

Suddenly one night she decided to edit it, without notice, and because I didn't respond to her questions within a 45-minute period (during which i was eating dinner), she cut the piece in half and published it, thus I was given only half the pay despite having done all the work. Terrible. I suggest making them promise in writing to pay you per words commissioned--not per words published--to avoid this happening again.
