The worst is when they act like they're doing you a favor by even looking at your work :)sandra seamanshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09786095189231150008noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1624614653537130690.post-42914523265274017172016-05-10T08:05:05.106-07:002016-05-10T08:05:05.106-07:00Good morning,

I tend to agree with him here as a press is a business set up to make money and they should pay their writers instead of pocketing all the profits. And I do agree with you that all writers should be paid for their work but there can be exceptions that don't take away from being a professional writer.<br /><br />Wow, that's really a kick in the butt, Elizabeth. I'll bet they didn't keep writing for long :) sandra seamanshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09786095189231150008noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1624614653537130690.post-24743377505946851322016-05-09T09:36:01.042-07:002016-05-09T09:36:01.042-07:00I worked for an online newspaper that paid everyon...I worked for an online newspaper that paid everyone at first, then stopped paying, didn't tell anyone anything, & let people keep working for free.
