I wrote a 2,300 word piece about my experience working as a frum women in corporate america, and making difficult decisions for my career and family. Is there anywhere I can publish it? Thanks!

Did you try sending it to magazines?

Do you know which ones might take something like that? Prefer one that might pay something, but that's not a must.

Ami? Mishpacha? Do you have any contacts? I think Yael Weisner would be a good person to talk to; maybe if you're both on LInkedIn you can message her.
Also, can you cut it down to 2000? I think the standard word count is 2000. I don't think it's that crucial to do it; editors will guide you if what you have to say is publishable. But you might want to see what you can do. Send in the longer one but have the edited one available.

I have published many pieces as a freelance writer.
Don't cut it down to 2000. I have never limited myself to a certain number.
Just make sure it's not overly wordy.
All the mags pay 10 cents per word.
I think either mishpacha or ami would publish such a thing provided ots well written.
Maybe even Binah.
Good luck.
