Honestly, articles like these and insight from other writers are what allowed me to skip the "write for pennies" phase entirely. I'm very lucky to have encountered so many people willing to share their experiences and guide others through them - now these pieces remind me to stick to my guns during negotiations and command respect for my work. I hope to share my own advice with others and help them be happier, more prosperous writers - so thank you for keeping this cycle going and for sharing your words!
