Writing opportunities in Portugal

1 publication is based in Portugal, and 92 in total confirm in their own guidelines that they are open to writers from here. A further 178 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

Why no figure is printed on this page

The one publication based in Portugal prints no pay figure in its own guidelines.

Desk-wide, 171 of the 288 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 The rest are not necessarily unpaid - most simply do not publish a rate card, and BRYME will not print a number the publication has not printed itself.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.

For Portugal, that means the 1 record without a figure is the part of this page to test by asking — a commissioned piece is where a rate gets named.

House style in Portugal

BRYME has not separately verified a Portuguese house-style profile. Note that the journal is publishing primarily in Portuguese and English, and that European and Brazilian Portuguese differ in spelling and usage — if you are translating, follow the publication's own guideline rather than assuming a convention.
