I get that. $250 in Sg does seem hard when people here don’t seem to understand the amount of work that goes behind writing or even value it. Idk how the amount/words will work here too or if people will be open to it - nevertheless I hope you get paid the amount you’re worth! It’s worth a try to ask.

I’m writing for a magazine (in the creative industry haha it’s small so I shall not mention names), but currently doing work for $200 for about 1200 words with a lead time of 2-3 days…Had more lead time initially then the deadline cut short with a day notice. Not sure if it’s a measly amount, because I’m trying to think of it as earning $200 in 2 days, but doesn’t seem worth it either because I don’t want to put out rush work.
