- English (US)
usually this means that the person would like to be paid early for a job.
Example: "Boss, I'm running out of money. Can you give me an advance on next week's paycheck?" In other words, give the person some or all of next week's paycheck in advance.
Is the person writing the paper as part of their job? Is the person writing a newspaper article, or a book?
