    Or any of the other rags out there? Is it worth it? I would think not, but I want some facts, not conjecture, for a discussion I'm having with someone. Marc

      Not sure what it is now, but it used to be on the order of $0.50/word (for established authors). Is it worth it? Well, I think even if you're Dino, you'd be hard pressed to make a good living at just writing...

            In 2000 I sold an article to the Visual Basic Programmer's Journal, for which I was paid approx $900USD. I don't know if a word-count formula was involved, or how they arrived at that sum, but it was a huge amount of money at the time considering the CAD->USD exchange. I was a poor youngster then and all that lovely money showed up the same month I got married, so it was very handy. I never did the effort/reward calculation to determine its absolute "worthfulness", but being published was something I always wanted to do so the effort was not a consideration. Share and enjoy.

              I used to get around $400-$600, from memory.
