Is there any way to get paid per piece instead of per word?

I've published quite a few pieces, less than a dozen. But my writing tends to be more concise. I think it's unfair that I get paid 30% less than someone who uses more words but it fills the same feature


Who knows? It doesn't hurt to ask.
You realize however that it won't "fill the same feauture". They need to fill up their pages. So if they take your piece which fills up one page instead of two, they need to take another piece to fill up the other page.

I'm talking about when I see the magazine every week and it's the same personal essay filling up either one page in Ami or two in FF. They just play around with the graphics because I have less words. And the content is just as stimulating, I'm just more concise.

But I wouldn't know who to ask. Because first you work with editorial and then they move you to billing.

So if you have had any email exchanges between the editors, just ask them your question. Either they will answer or not. But it can't hurt to ask.
I found the editors at Mishpacha to be very approachable.
Ami not as much. Maybe they are understaffed. But try your luck..

Is it automatic that you lose the rights to anything that gets published?

I only saw that in Mishpacha's contract.

They all have an exclusivity clause that you can't publish it in another Jewish magazine, but that's not hard, you'll get a bad name for just submitting it to two at the same time, let alone trying to publish.

I've had my writing published recently in Jewish but not frum outlets. I've been told they don't want independent thinkers.


Can you give some examples of Jewish but not frum outlets that you’ve done?
