I think the highest is currently $37 per item. The majority falls into the $20-$30 range I mentioned in my first post. <br /><br />LisaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3444601322934752825.post-91707728580692745072011-09-22T07:22:07.038-04:002011-09-22T07:22:07.038-04:00Whoops...sorry, Laura, that was a typo.

All of the major publishing I write for (including Pearson, NWEA) currently pay experienced writers $25 and up per item. And, you're right, if you can find consistent work the pay is excellent.Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14283312307073788162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3444601322934752825.post-42918293720948883802011-09-21T15:50:58.985-04:002011-09-21T15:50:58.985-04:00That makes sense to me. $25/hour is not the same a...That makes sense to me. $25/hour is not the same as $25 per item. I averaged $20-$30/per hour with the $7 per item rate. I would definitely not apply for a job that didn't have the option of earning at least $20/hour. <br /><br />LauraAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3444601322934752825.post-49710651067039492322011-09-21T15:39:04.181-04:002011-09-21T15:39:04.181-04:00I haven't written for less than $25/hr in year...I haven't written for less than $25/hr in years.

Is someone really paying $20-$30 per item? I could quit my job and write 8 of those per day for nine months...<br /><br />I may be a little out of the loop on market prices now. I wrote those items a few years ago. <br /><br />LauraAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3444601322934752825.post-76449684180597085492011-09-21T12:50:38.946-04:002011-09-21T12:50:38.946-04:00Am I reading this right?
