UPDATE TO THIS POST:
A freelancer wrote in: "$5 seems like an awfully small amount to pay for an article and our expertise...."

My response was: I know, I know, I know.

FYI, for anyone else out there who feels this way, I just want to give a little background about InkwellEditorial.com. I run the site as a hobby and when payment for content is offered, I pay from my own pocket.

Many sites don't pay anything and I am well aware of how underpaid and overworked freelancers are -- and I sympathize because I am one of them. However, I feel an obligation to keep the ste going because it gives editorial/creative professionals an insight into the world of other editorial/creative professionals. I feel that the only way to learn is to share information -- and if you can pick up a "little" cash in the process, then all the better.

If you find one bit of useful information on the site, it's because I have taken the time to either write it, research it and/or and post a link to it -- all for no pay. I happen to know that the site is a great resource because many write in to let me know. As an example, I just got the following email this past Friday from a user:

"I just wanted to send you a brag email – I am a former English major who now works in broadcast news – never got a formal grammar background. I certainly wasn’t versed in AP style at all. But then I got an offer for an interview for a copyediting job. In two days. And I was going to have to take an EDITING test. On AP STYLE. PANIC! I did a search, found your site, and after two days and evenings of doing AP Style tests non-stop and cramming with my brand new AP Stylebook, I aced my test and got asked back for a second interview! THANK YOU!" Erin Burt

So, if you are a freelancer who has the time, or just want to contribute out of the goodness of your heart -- great -- it is much appreciated. If not, then feel free to enjoy the accounts of those who do write in.

Sincerely,
Y. Black, Publisher
