Pathfinder 1E Should LPJ Design increase their writers pay rate to 4 cents a word on a Pathfinder p

[Ajar]

So there's me shouting it for the writers and then I go and take a look at freelancer to see how this works and what do I find?

From 5 to a, much more respectable, 10c/word for a Dante article for EN Publishing. And I look at the bids for this pretty reasonable rate for the task and what do I see? One bid with a three sentence 'resume' and 4 bids that are presumably meant to be a laugh in terms of the freelancer setting out what they can actually do with this huge topic. It's a portfolio world, and 4 of those bids are asking for 3c/ word.

When I first started hearing about the range of rates RPG writers get for their work, I was about as surprised as you -- I've been published a couple of times in an online gaming magazine, and they paid $0.25 a word. But it does seem to be largely due to the size of the market. Even with the long tail effect in full swing -- now that everyone can find the specific content they want via a web store rather than having to hope their FLGS has something they like -- the RPG market is still tiny.
