Besides The New Yorker, what publications pay money for short stories?

>> No.2194701

Only scummy people contribute stories for money.

Don't get me wrong, The New Yorker has some great work in it, but seriously, if money is why you're writing, you're in the wrong game.

Not OP, but I don't write for money. I write because I want to. If, however, having already written a story, I feel that I can make a bit of money by contributing it somewhere, I will.

Hey now! In this economy I wouldn't blame him of he saw his writing as a means of earning some extra bread. Good on him for taking advantage of what he's got( considering he has it) and looking for places to use it! Not like it'll pay rent, but at least he'll feel good about himself!

Hi, I'm looking to submit some work too. My goals aren't as lofty as the OP's though.

Does anyone know some good zines online or off that publish short stories/flash fiction/poetry? I don't care if they pay at all, though I would prefer a publication with a good reputation.

>> No.2194748

Any writer looking for venues to publish in should check this site:

http://duotrope.com/

It's an excellent way to find 'zines and anthologies, whether paying or unpaying, and figure out how to build a history of publication.

Hey! There's value in all things! One skilled in expressing themselves has a higher chance of expressing their dreams! Think MLK. Learn to give speeches, become a leader.

MLK was not a leader you retard, he was a promiscuous adulterer and savage negroid ape.
The persons you are thinking about is Adolf Hitler or Mussolini.

Value is subjective, and very few people think literature is something "valuable" especially as 99% of it is women writing romance or leftist pieces of shit writing propaganda.

>> No.2194761

How the fuck are you a fascist who thinks that value is subjective and artistic goodness is subjective? You're fucking terrible at being a fascist, you moron. Fucking hell, go away you idiot, go be stupid somewhere else. Jesus christ, look at these kids, just trying to be edgy. Pisses me right off. FUCK YOU. At least try and understand the ideology you espouse.

Ugh. Kids these days, right?

For real.

Just look at fanfiction forums if you want people who write "for the sheer pleasure of writing."

protip: people who write because they enjoy it cannot characterize, plot, or write well. Only professionals are capable of creating true works of beauty.

I love the New Yorker's non-fiction, but in the six or so years I've been subscribed, I've read maybe one short story in there that I actually like.

I always wonder how there can be such a quality imbalance.

It's more like submitting fiction to a long-standing and reputable literary magazine.

Nice effort, though.

I think he reads Achewood. I remember the characters trashing the magazine in one strip.

Which is funny, because the creator of Achewood had an interview with The New Yorker.
