Dear Writers – Thanks to Fatima Saif’s weekly research, here is a list of seven magazines that pay up to $200 or more for the articles they publish. Keep in mind that payment rates are not set in stone, and may need to be negotiated.

If you want to learn how to negotiate rates, establish a successful writing career, or simply get your first paid publication, I recommend enrolling in The No B.S. Course on Freelance Writing. It is currently open for enrollment. Learn more here.
