> 🎬 **Love writing about movies & TV? Turning that passion into *paid* work is tough. I get it**.


 


> **After digging around, here are **5 legit sites that actually PAY freelance writers** for film/TV content (not just exposure!)**:

>


> 1. **ScreenRant:**

They occasionally need TV, movie, and gaming writers. ScreenRant usually requires that you commit to doing a certain number of articles per month, so it can be steady work. The opportunity is open worldwide.


They do prefer if you've had some experience writing for the web. The pay is not listed, but old job posts I've found online indicate it's pay per post.


> 2. **MovieWeb:**

If you’re passionate about movies and TV and want a straightforward way to get paid for writing, MovieWeb is an option you may want to consider. They're always looking for freelance writers to contribute news, reviews, and opinion pieces about films, streaming, and entertainment industry trends.


So, if you can craft well-researched, engaging articles with a strong voice and unique perspective, you should apply!


Payment rates are not listed on their website, but freelancers have reported the pay is per article.



> 3. **Cineaste:**

This is a quarterly magazine focused on cinema. They consider freelance submissions that, if accepted, will be either published in their print magazine or online.


Their current rates for accepted submissions are $18 for short take reviews, $36 for book or DVD reviews, $45 for film reviews, and $90 for feature articles or feature interviews.


> 4. **Listverse:**

If you enjoy writing list-based articles about movies, TV, and pop culture, Listverse is an option to submit that kind of content (as well as almost any other type of list).


They specialize in Top 10-style articles across a variety of topics, including film history, TV shows, behind-the-scenes movie facts, and more.


Listverse is always looking for entertaining, original, well-researched, and unique lists rather than generic content. Some examples of what they publish include:


The catch here is that getting your list accepted for publication is no guarantee. But if it is, they will send you $100 via Paypal.



> 5. **Comic Book Resources (CBR):**

CBR is looking for writers to help source, brainstorm, produce, self-edit and publish original new content for their knowledgeable audience.



> Reality Check: Entertainment writing is SUPER competitive. Rates can be lower, gigs irregular. Diversifying your skills helps!

>

> Why share this? Because finding *real* paid gigs amongst the "for exposure" posts is exhausting. Hope this saves someone time! ✨

>

> P.S. Know any other paying sites? Drop them below! 👇

In Conclusion

I tried to make a longer list, but when you search online for these types of writing gigs, there are so many that are unpaid!


And while some people are fine with those types of opportunities for the sake of building up a portfolio, I just prefer to list paid positions here.

The Man Who Invented The "Psychopath"?

The Man Who Invented the “Psychopath”? Hervey Cleckley, an influential psychiatrist, is often credited with shaping modern understandings of psychopathy, even though his original intent was to help rather than stigmatize those affected. His 1941 work, The Mask of Sanity, was pivotal, as it introduced the concept of the psychopath as a specific personality type with 16 distinct traits. Cleckley described individuals who seemed outwardly rational but exhibited shallow emotions, lacked empathy, and engaged in destructive behaviors, though often without malice. Cleckley’s perspective was initially sympathetic; he saw these individuals as “forgotten” by psychiatry—people who needed understanding and treatment. However, as psychopathy entered the public lexicon, the term was quickly associated with malice, violence, and even inhumanity. Cleckley’s nuanced portrait of the psychopath was adapted by later researchers like Robert Hare, who created the widely used Psychopathy Checklist, a t...
