Fair Payment
Posted: Sat Sep 02, 2006 11:50 am
Very often I see requests for articles where the requestor asks $10-$20 for full rights for a reasonably lengthy article. Doesn't seem worthwhile to submit, particularly considering that the chances of the article being accepted are not 100%.
Many of us need the sales for almost any amount of money. I think requestors are taking advantage of this by setting a very low max price that only someone desperate would consider. Unfortunately, there are many desperate writers. Good times for requestors, right?
I feel like the writers are being cheated. I'd like to see the admins step in and not allow such requests or require a more reasonable payment.
