Lately I've been having convos w/ editors EXPLAINING why rates need to be higher. Explaining inflation & that $30/ hour is less than min wage in the US when you account for high self employment taxes, insurance & expenses. Explaining that good work requires livable compensation.

Calling all writers who like camping, backpacking and the gear you need to do those things. I'm the camp and backpack editor at REI and am open to pitches or even just a friendly hello from interested writers. Sound like you? Feel free to drop me a line at [email protected].

It's teaching time again and I get to instruct with two of the most incredible, big-hearted journos out there: Blane Bachelor and Jessica Poitevien! Come join us and perfect your pitching game for the new year!

Genuinely curious...as an editor, should I let freelancers know that I would rather not work with them again after going through several disappointing rounds of edits or just slowly stop responding to pitches? Both seem trash so open to other suggestions as well.

When you intro yourself to me as a #freelancer, I want more than clips. Where'd you grow up? Go to college? Hobbies? Do you have pets? Every writer has their preferred topics & areas of expertise, but life experience dictates so many more opportunities.
