This poster contains semi-graphic content, designed to attract attention — particularly the attention of those who might like to take part in a production of The Vagina Monologues. (Let’s just say you probably shouldn’t open it unless you are comfortable seeing a big picture of a vagina.)

Always, Always, Always Ask For More Money By Melanie Bowden

Always, Always, Always Ask For More Money By Melanie Bowden

Many writers are so afraid of rejection that they jump at whatever fee an editor offers. Don’t do it! Writers are notorious for not getting paid what they deserve, especially when they are first starting out. We need to think more like my therapist, who advises, “Honor the work you do.” His weekly therapy bill also motivates me to ask for more for my writing work. Whatever your motivation, stand up for the work you do and make more money.

In over five years of freelancing, I’ve only had one editor not raise the pay when I asked. Yet I’m surprised how many writers have told me they never negotiate for more money. They are missing the gravy train.
