Here are the 6 websites you could look into as a Catholic freelance writer:

Payment: “An honorarium is paid upon publication.”

Submit your queries, web articles and manuscripts via email (ft@firstthings.com).
Submission format: Microsoft Word
2. Salvo
“Salvo publishes an eclectic range of articles in the areas of sex, science, and society. What distinguishes our content is its systematic deconstruction of false ideologies, philosophies, and worldviews. Articles should be well-researched and logically sound, as well as somewhat timeless in subject matter. Salvo is intended as a permanent resource; thus, articles that are overly tied to current events will be rejected.”
Do note that this website does not accept fiction or poetry.
Payment: Their website states: “Original articles are given an honorarium of twenty cents per published word.”

We are not looking for academic or theological insights — we are interested in content that takes life seriously for our generation and reveals what’s important about the interior life. Write an interesting story that you’d like to read!”
