Hi. Does anyone know any internet or simple magazines (with internet submiting)? The ones that pay you for giving them a story they'll use in the magazine. I'm good at fiction, I would like something dedicated only to fiction. Because, if you look back in time, you'll se that many writers started by being posted in magazine. Who hasn't read Martin Eden, which is an autobiography of Jack London? Nikolay Nosov also started in magazines( so did many russian writers). Thanks in advance!

The used to be the place where writers came from. Guys like Vonnegutt and Westlake and MacDonald writing fiction for magazines. But no more, sorry.

The very fact that you don't know the name of a magazine that publishes fiction shows the problem. There is almost no such thing as popular periodical fiction anymore, except in genres like SF and Mystery...and the circulations of those pulp mags is going way, way down. Even Playboy doesn't run as much anymore and though they are the standard-bearer for mag fiction, they are NOT interested in new writers in the slightest. The women's mags, who spawned many a writer in the old days hardly run any.

If you're doing very "literary" work, having a long record of publication in high toned journals and "littles" might help you sell a book, though.

I think Lin hit the nail on the head. Other then the big ones like the New Yorker and Atlantic Monthly, most literary magazines/journals are obscure and hard to find - but go to your local bookstore and you will most likely find a couple to submit to.

Most of these don't pay. However, a number of them would be a feather in your literary cap if they were to publish you.

Hi all,
Two of the best sites for information like this are FundsforWriters
and Absolute Write: freelance writing, screenwriting, playwriting, novels, non-fiction They both have great free and inexpensive newsletters with more markets than you can get to every week. There is also a book called Writer's Market which has thousands of listings and comes out each year. Your local library should have a copy.

FFW especially offers lots of outlets for stories and fiction of all kinds. Some are physical mags, so if you aren't able to buy them, they must be subscription based, some are ezines.

Also, congrats for taking steps to broaden your experience and get your name out there. There's a fair amount to learn about how to approach editors, etc. and it isn't always easy, but it's a great goal and great feeling when you get there.

Writer's Market is outdated before it even hits the stores, so don't waste your time or money. Duotrope, however, is freakin' awesome.

They both serve different purposes.
