Do you pay for articles?

Payment Guidelines for Contributors:
At The Eye, we are committed to supporting quality writing and ensuring that our contributors feel valued for their work. While much of our magazine is built on the generosity and passion of writers who wish to share their knowledge and experiences, we also commission and pay for selected articles each issue.

Payment Structure:
We pay a flat fee per article (not per word). This makes it easy for both writers and editors to plan submissions and issue budgets.

Short Piece (400–700 words)
Flat fee: $1,000 MXN Example: personal essay, travel note, short cultural spotlight.

Standard Article (800–1200 words)
Flat fee: $1,500 MXN Example: cultural feature, history, lifestyle, or tourism-focused article.

Feature Article (1200–1500 words)
Flat fee: $2,000 MXN Example: in-depth exploration of a theme, interview-based piece, or investigative feature.

Commissioned vs. Voluntary Contributions
Commissioned Articles:
We may approach writers directly with specific assignments. These pieces will be paid according to the above structure.

Pitched Articles:
Writers are welcome to pitch ideas. If we decide to commission the piece, we will confirm the fee before you begin writing.

Voluntary Submissions:
We also welcome contributions from those who wish to write for exposure, byline, and community contribution. These unpaid contributions are still treated with the same editorial care.

Payment Terms:
Payments are made via bank transfer within Mexico (or PayPal if needed). Payment is issued upon publication.

Rights: The Eye requests first publication rights. After publication, the rights revert to the author, though we ask that any reprints acknowledge first publication in The Eye.
