Case Studies

We help writers find opportunities to get paid, with a focus on helping freelance writers build their writing careers.

While most of our work is the listing of publication opportunities, we only accept pitches in limited categories. Please carefully read our guidelines before sending a pitch.

Guidelines for Case Studies

We publish case studies about how freelance writers have landed paid publications, gained clients, or otherwise found success in one specific way.

These case studies must included detailed information, such as actual pitches, actual pay rates earned, a link to the publication, etc.

It's best to focus on just one publication, and how you got that specific publication, including interactions with the editor, pitches sent, pay earned, etc.

Here are some links to past articles:

How I Broke into the Smart Mouth Newsletter and Earned $1 Per Word

The Anatomy of an Instructional Pitch (How I Got Paid $500 for One Article)

If you can't include verifiable, factual information, then your case study is not a good fit for us.

We pay $100 USD for case studies. Word length is flexible. We are able to send payments to most countries. 

Describe your case study proposal. Include details about how you got published. Focus on one publication, and put it into the broader context of your career.
