Before anyone asks, there isn't much more context than this. It is part of an author's bio and it's just randomly inserted as a stand-alone sentence. The parts before and after this are irrelevant.

Never tired of publishing, he never pays to be published.
The author never gests tired of publishing books, novels, etc. but he never pays (publishers, agents, and so forth) to be published
Mine is just a modest attempt, wait for other suggestions
"Essere paghi di" means to be satisfied with something

: This version is more descriptive of a talented author, with a rich output and not in need to pay to see own work published (like many other unknown writers)

I agree with Texjax and I propose my alternative as a title.
Because 'pago' is a refined word I would rather use 'reluctunt' word < Latin.
It is, I think, impossible to have in English 'pay' in both senteces..
