Chortle is always on the lookout for sharp, focused humor pieces from new writers. We’re able to pay $40 for each piece we publish. If you’d like to submit, please continue reading until the end of this post!
To get an idea of the kind of writing we like, I highly recommend reading some of our published work before submitting. Some places to start include our most popular posts and previous guest posts.
