Also a reminder that editors have very little control over this so who're going to be shaming is the media executives setting out these few schedules while they wouldn't get out of bed for less than $300K a year.

Don't weep for the media bros. I've advised them as they argued with me over paying writers $500 for 2000 words while they had Hermès bags in their offices. The money is there and it's concentrated at the top. It just needs to be reallocated.

Also if you're a media executive and you're reading this (and I know a lot of you do) it's worth considering changing your fee schedule NOW for the better, to pay writers decent wages. I'll also boost anyone who's doing it right and treating writers well.

If anyone is not familiar with the practice of "on spec," it means publications ask writers to do a whole piece at their own risk -- no editing, no guidance -- and then submit it for consideration. If it's rejected they get paid nothing for all that work.

Important as well: All publications should have kill fees. That's the price that publications pay writers if a piece won't run. It's often a small fraction of the full fee, but it does go some way towards compensating writers for their time.
