Hi, does anybody know how much the going rate per word is for writers submitting stories/features to Jewish magazines like the Ami, Binah, Mishpacha...?

I've heard that the standard rate is 10 cents per word, but with the caveat that it can vary based on publication, how often you write for them, and of course how big your name is.

Oysh, 10 cents a word is what I was being paid 10 years ago (I stopped writing for the Jewish mags).

I was thinking 10 cents sounded reasonable, but I didn't want to low-ball or ask for too much...
Thanks!

Does that average around $30 per article? That's crazy.

Nooo! more like $100-300 depending on the length of your story or article.

Are you saying for about a 1500 word writing or a different rate per word?

When I wrote for magazines they commissioned articles based on a specified word count ahead of time. If it was something other than an article (such as a comic or whatever else), it was already agreed upon ahead of time, usually as a flat fee per piece or per part/chapter, etc.
I primarily do freelance and writing coaching these days, and mainly for a secular market. There's significantly more income in that. My writing for the Jewish world is my passion, but I don't count on it for parnassah.

Depends how long your article is. I was making $125 for a two page spread.
