Introduction

This is a practical book for writers who are ready to get paid to
write. It includes hundreds of publishers that accept queries,
pitches, and submissions from freelance writers.
All of these publishers pay for the writing they publish. All of them
publish work from freelance writers. Many of them are not listed
anywhere else, including the famous “Writer’s Market.”
In fact, if you’re a writer submitting to publishers listed in the
Writer’s Market, you’re shooti ng yourself in the foot. Because it is
so popular and so widely distributed, you’re facing very stiff
competition.
The publishers in this book are less likely to be famous or widely
known. Because of that, the discerning writer will have better
odds of get ting published. Less competition means higher odds of
connecting with the right publisher.
Many of these markets are presented with expected payment
information. This information should be considered a starting
point for your negotiation with the publisher . Payment for some
markets are “set in stone”, while others are quite flexible.
Of course, there is quite a lot that goes into building a successful
freelance writing career. If you’re looking to launch your freelance
writing career, I highly recommend The No B.S. Course on
Freelance Writing.

While the majority of these markets are always open to
submissions from freelance writers, some of them are closed to
submissions from time to time.
In 2017 , I will continue to collect and present writing markets to
our subscribers. To get our free updates, be sure to subscribe at

About this Book

This book is intended to be used as a research tool for writers. In
it, you will find listings for dozens of publishers that pay writers.
The information has been vetted, but is not guaranteed to be
accurate. The publishing world changes quickly. Publisher s
regularly out of business. They change their submission
requirements, pay scale, etc. The information in this book is
intended to serve as a starting point. The goal is to connect
writers with publications that want to pay for their writing.
This book is updated on a regular basis. Be sure to subscribe to
Freedom With Writing to get access to the updates.
Categories have been created where it makes the most sense. As
the book evolves, more categories will be created.
This book is not a guide to freelance writing. It doesn’t cover
setting your rate, building your list of clients, pitching writers, etc.
To learn more about these topics, I recommend The No B.S.
Course on Freelance Writing.
