Writing opportunities in Ireland

2 publications are based in Ireland, and 96 in total confirm in their own guidelines that they are open to writers from here. A further 190 do not state an eligibility rule either way.

Pay below is shown exactly as each publication states it. For scale, US$100 is about €86 at the mid-market rate of 2026-09-05. BRYME never converts a stated rate — it only shows an approximation.

A listing is an invitation to pitch, never a promise of acceptance or payment. Every entry links to the publication’s own guideline and the date BRYME last checked it.

Read the silence

Reading the figures on this page

All 2 publications based in Ireland print a pay figure in their own guidelines.

Desk-wide, 184 of the 304 publications BRYME tracks state a rate. The rest are not necessarily unpaid - most simply do not publish a rate card, and BRYME will not print a number the publication has not printed itself. So treat an empty pay row as an unanswered question to put to the editor, not as evidence of anything. Where a record does carry a figure, it is quoted exactly as stated and dated with the day it was read.

House style when you write for Ireland

Getting these wrong will not sink a good idea, but they are the fastest way for an editor to tell you have not read them.
