A JustMarkets Publication
Welcome, writers!
Pays on publication. What a dreaded (but frequent) phrase the hapless freelancer faces! I mean, after all, once the thing's been published, is the editor *ever* in as much of a hurry to cut the check as you are to receive it?
One writer has an interesting solution: suggest dropping your fee by 15 percent (or more) IF you're paid on acceptance. Some magazines actually appreciate this economy and will jump at the offer: and it's money in your pocket up-front, no chasing, no "forgetting", no suddenly going out of business (!).
In this issue of JustMarkets, from practical Christian psychological applications to New Age retailing, from clay-baked potters to child vegans and literary travelers, there are readers out there waiting just for you.
Good writing everyone – see you in the New Year!
