The last we heard from Scott Carney, he was saying freelance writers in aggregate earn less than one college football coach. His math on that was challenged, but now he's back anyway with a post proposing that writers for major magazines should get $20 per word: "So how did I come up with $20 per word? Multiplication. If we were to make just 10% of the gross revenues of a given magazine then we would earn at least $20 for every word we publish."
