The editor of one publication I've written for in the past told me earlier this year she wanted me to write a column for them, and what would I charge? The price I charged, though very reasonable in freelance terms, is double what they pay unsolicited contributors. Another magazine that I write for maybe twice a year is now exchanging an article for an ad (for my teen online writing classes). The ad runs in the several hundreds of dollars, and is not in my budget normally. I am happy with the exchange - I've gained most of my recent students through these ads. <br /><br />for regularly has offered me an ad exchange Karen Langehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18177923284595298347noreply@blogger.com
