Notes from the
MRH Staff
Remember, MRH pays for articles!
E
very so often we run into someone who is surprised to
find out we pay for articles, so we thought it's probably
about time to remind everyone once again that we do
pay for articles! In fact, we've written a few checks for 4 dig-
its in US dollars to some authors – now that will give the old
hobby budget a shot in the arm!
That said, we don't want to give you the idea everyone will
walk away with that kind of payment, but it can happen if you
do a nice in-depth article for us with over 100 photos.
The kinds of articles we're looking for fall into three basic cat-
egories: short quick projects (1-2 pages), medium-sized pieces
(3-6 pages), and large in-depth works (7-20+ pages). Anything
over about 10 pages we'll generally split into a multi-part arti-
cle across more than one issue.
Short quick projects (1-2 pages):
We typically run these as a
one-evening project. An article in this category generally has
250-400 words, and 4-10 photos with captions of 2-3 sentences
each. We pay about $100 - $150 USD for a short article like this.
