New 🚩 The Drift magazine and its payments to the writers

[Starmix]

The Drift is “a magazine of culture and politics.” They want “socially engaged cultural criticism; class-sensitive analysis; pieces that point out what’s being avoided or talked around in politics, media, arts, or even academia; upbeat cynicism; un-self-serious screeds; generous takedowns; entries from the margins; fiction; poetry. You can also write 1-3 sentence book/novel/ movie or TV art reviews. They pay $2,000 for essays, $500 - $1,000 for short stories, $150 for poems, and $25 for mentions. I am very interested in poetry writing. I am already satisfied with the pay of $150. I will submit my entry tomorrow. What about you? Grab this chance. Visit the site The Drift.

I am a story writer but never have been published on international publication. However, I have submitted my work on multiple platforms but always rejected

That's sad, I also experienced the same but it was a long poem being not heard if won or rejected. I no longer submit.

I guess I cannot indulge in. The topics listed were not my interest. I guess I need to pass for this idea.

I am on this. I write poems and joined the international poetry contest. I hope to be among the top 3. The result will be on December 22.

A lot of well established writers were also rejected multiple times, so rejections are common but rejections also makes you discouraged. Instead of sending to prestigious sites, I try to publish on my own

Gladly writers are being paid so high for that matter. That why the writing career is always so good

That's also a good idea to publish your articles in your own website. You can monitor it's progress.

Drift magazine favors only writers from Tier 1 countries like the United States. It is a legit writing magazine.

Sounds awesome, but am not a professional writer yet, and my location is also another issue to consider as well.

The payments doesn't look real and I doubt they would want to hire people from my location

I thought about this possible hurdle the moment I read OP's post.
I guess persons living in the global south will have to look for alternative avenues to earning an income.

I think that is an international company and getting hired js indeed a very hard thing.

I check their site but l do not understand what do they mean by mentions? I think that is the easiest one . And also, how do they send your payment if accepted?
