I know you feel strongly that your business model doesn’t devalue the work of writers, but if writers are providing their work for you for free (as at least one writer on this site has attested is the case), then it’s

First, if I’m understanding correctly, you require potential writers to go through a bootcamp before joining your actual team.

IF any of those articles are accepted for publication, then there’s a chance that they might make some money for the writer.
To put it frankly, there is absolutely no way I would ever agree to such terms. Devamını Oku
