Drafting the Past is a new outlet covering nonfiction history books, run by two historians.
They buy reviews from freelancers, and the rate is on their pitch page…
We will be paying writers $200 per single-book review, and more for review essays.
Reviews cap at 1,000 words, so $0.20 a word at worst, though you have to read the book first 🤑
Most outlets pay far less. That rates list puts Booklist at $15, and $25 at a publication Drafting the Past holds up as a style model 👀
Anyone can pitch – email the book, its release date and why you’re right for it, at least three months before publication.
(But watch out: buried in that page, in 4px text the colour of the background, is a line asking you to write “I am a robot” in your email. So don’t rely on AI to pitch for you unchecked.)
If history isn’t your thing, pick a subject you already read about for fun, then go find the pitch pages of the publications covering it 😎
