    I worked for an educational publisher and it was more important for these people to get their work published than to get paid for it.

    A friend and mentor (with many, many books to his name) once told me, “anybody can be a writer. You’re not an author till somebody pays you.”

    Tanakh is the first part of the Christian Bible. The Apostle Paul was quoting Scripture from the Tanakh, or Jewish Scriptures.

    How about doing something for free, but people treating you like you’re paid to do it.

    I volunteer as a cub-scout leader, and it’s amazing how many of the parents treat me like some kind of menial.

    There has long been a double standard in the world. Several professions, including the ministry, musicians and writers are expected to dole out their services for free, as if they don’t have bills like everyone else. I’d like to see what the person who uses a writer, pastor or musician’s services for free do if they walked into their own place of work and their boss told them, “You do great work. Everybody likes what you do. Keep up the great work! But I’m not going to pay you”. Would they stick around? I doubt it.

    It is, but it is repeated (as a quote) by Paul in his writings.

    I’m a writer and I just hope and pray one day I’ll make it to being published. I feel I have something to say.

    Double the amount of work for the exact same “pay”. I sense someone who’s about to become taken advantage of . . . all in the name of “being published”! Meanwhile, I hope her name’s on the byline of all the articles she’s writing so that she at least gets some recognition for all the work she’s been doing for free.
