Military Officer Magazine now typically pays $1 per word, paid on acceptance, according to its updated freelancer guidelines. That's up from the 80 cents a word we previously listed.

The magazine is the Military Officers Association of America's monthly publication for commissioned and warrant officers, veterans, retirees, surviving spouses, and families across all eight uniformed services. It covers:

• current military and political affairs
• recent military history, especially Vietnam and Korea
• personal financial planning
• health and fitness
• military family issues
• retirement lifestyles
• travel and general interest

They don't take fiction, poetry, fillers, or reprints. Word counts vary, and they buy first rights, including internet and reprint rights. They prefer an active, nontechnical, upbeat style with direct quotes, following AP style.
