So, I think online writing it is a great opportunity for young writers to express themselves. I am not a writer.

I used Duotrope when it was free, but I never managed to get an acceptance from anywhere I found through the site, so when they introduced the subscription fee I gave up on it.<br /><br />You make a good point about print publications being a gateway to reprints and the like; I don't think that happens with online publications. Not often, anyway.Dan Purduehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01633271913854946500noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2942294427695379658.post-20808800067506544212014-01-15T19:40:09.619+00:002014-01-15T19:40:09.619+00:00Hi Dan.

I like to do a cross section of all of them: print, online and competitions. <br /><br />For print - you do need to have bought and read the publications you're submitting to. I've also had more opportunities crop up from print publications. People have asked to have second publishing rights. <br /><br />https://duotrope.com/ is good for finding out publications and if they pay or not etc. I tend to go for publications I respect and enjoy - ones that appeal to me. <br /><br />Good Luck!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2942294427695379658.post-2763291444157438262014-01-15T19:01:17.881+00:002014-01-15T19:01:17.881+00:00Chloe - yes, it's a shame so few of the magazi...Chloe - yes, it's a shame so few of the magazines pay much more than a token sum, if anything. I suppose part of the problem is that they don't sell in great numbers. Since Borders went to the wall there hasn't been any high street shop that would stock a typical literary magazine. I suspect many of them will eventually move to e-versions purely to limit the cost of production and distribution.<br /><br />Good luck to you, too - let's hope we both find ourselves some accommodating pages!<br /><br />Patsy - but how do you assess whether it has a chance or not? I get the feeling you must do a fair bit of research.Dan Purduehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01633271913854946500noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2942294427695379658.post-49293327401872469752014-01-15T16:24:27.505+00:002014-01-15T16:24:27.505+00:00I send it anywhere and everywhere I think it has a...I send it anywhere and everywhere I think it has a chance of being accepted.Patsyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12263765378083045973noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2942294427695379658.post-20222404831668596752014-01-14T09:20:45.319+00:002014-01-14T09:20:45.319+00:00Ooooh, you've changed the look of your blog - ...Ooooh, you've changed the look of your blog - nice!<br /><br />I feel the same as you. I much prefer competitions to submissions and I will usually bother to read something if I can find it online, but only buy print versions of a few things. But I too am trying to get some stories into print. The trouble I find is that most print places don't pay and/or are genre fiction.Some of my past work might be suitable for women's mags - which do pay professional rates - but it's a very competitve market and I'm not the best match for the readership to be honest. <br /><br />Good luck with finding some print publications!Chloehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00183206722136871230noreply@blogger.com
