Tell us about your camera and get £30!

Would you like to share with other Digital Camera Magazine readers your experience of owing one of these cameras? We need 200 words and will pay you £30 if we decide to publish your piece.

£30 for 200 words? That's way less than a penny a word . . . don't let the NUJ get hold of this.

Hi Stormsong,

In my experience, this is a reasonable rate for 200 words. £30 is actually 15p a word. As a working freelancer myself, this is approximately how much I would expect to get paid, especially for a short first-time piece for a magazine - and I'm a professional writer.

Digital Camera are not asking for a professional level of writing here, so I think this is a more than fair offer for something that shouldn't take too long to put together.

Thanks,

Amy
