TTRPG Freelance Writer/Editor Pay Survey
This anonymous survey by EN World (www.enworld.org) is designed to gather information about TTRPG industry norms. 

Several years ago we gathered information on industry freelance rates. This survey is intended to update that information to current rates. You are not asked to identify yourself or the companies you have worked for, although we (optionally) ask you to categorize the type of publisher.

You can take this survey multiple times to reflect different pay rates for different jobs throughout 2023.

Pay rates are per word and in USD, so please convert as needed. Please keep the data to pay you have received in 2023 only.

The results will be published publicly to help freelancers independently evaluate their pay rates.

We will be surveying other freelancers such as artists and other creators separately.
