Title: Working for free or not
Post by: Don Denton on March 07, 2013, 10:41 AM

from photographer Nate Hayer:

"From the Atlantic:

Thanks for responding. Maybe by the end of the week? 1,200 words? We unfortunately can’t pay you for it, but we do reach 13 million readers a month. I understand if that’s not a workable arrangement for you, I just wanted to see if you were interested."

and from writer Stephanie Lucianovic

"Unless they're independently wealthy, I don't believe anyone should work for free. However, I will admit that I have written for free. And I continue to do so somewhat compulsively."
