What Format? We favor written pieces, but we will consider video and audio. (Note: We are still a small startup, and we don’t have a real 2025 budget for video or audio work. Yet.)
Rates and Payment: We pay for original work. Rates depend on complexity and length but will not exceed $100-$200 for 700 words. We are still a small outlet, but deliver impactful distribution and awareness. Be upfront about your expectations. Payments are made via BILL after the contractor agreement is signed, the piece is published, and an invoice is submitted. We pay in 30 days, and if there are issues, we will work with you.
