"The best place to check about salaries for magazine journalists, would be with the magazine that you are hoping to write articles for. Some magazines, usually the Love Story magazines, will take submissions from writers, and the writer is paid as the magazine uses their work. Readers Digest use to be a good source to go to if you have any humorous stories that you would like to share. Other
. magazines could include hunting magazines, if you are a hunter and have stories or tips to pass on to other hunters. Or, there are military magazines that you can contact if you are a military person. The list goes on and on as to the magazines that are out there. They cover about every topic imaginable. Your best bet, I would think, would be to contact the type of magazine that your writing would work with. If you go to your public library, or online and look through the magazine or their websites. Many of them have a ""submissions"" section where you can find out their policies for taking material."
