The Freelance Star Newspaper

Convincing the local newspaper editor to let you become a correspondent for the paper is just the first step to enhancing your freelancing career. Once you have convinced the editor, to let you join the newspaper as a correspondent or freelance writer, the next thing you have to discuss are the terms of your contract.

Here are some important things freelance writers need to consider when discussing their contracts.

Determine Paydays

Like most publications, newspapers pay only after the work has been published. Start by checking your contract to see how quickly after your work is published you will be paid. Many companies will base freelancing paydays on their internal pay schedules or will offer payment only once a month. Discuss this with your editor at the time you are being hired and then get the answer in writing.
