Frequently Asked Questions
Paid gigs are pretty straightforward. Browse our article ideas on this page. When you see an idea you like or want to riff off of, click the “Contact to bid” link and shoot us your bid. (If you on a small screen, you may need to scroll right to see the link.) Be sure to include the title of the piece you would like to write, along with anything else you want us to know about it. One of our editors will get back to you with more information. Bid recommendations are set according to the expected time involved, required expertise and unique value.
