paying markets
Searching for paying markets to submit your writing to? Tired of writing for free or almost free, and now you're ready to make some money for all the hard work you do? Or maybe you have decided to make freelace writing your full-time job. Whatever your reasons, you've come to the right place!

Below you will find links to a variety of
paying markets. All the paying markets below pay writers a fee of no less than $.10 per word, or no less than $25; just like in our e-zine! In fact, the paying markets below are brought to you from back issues of Coffee Break for Writers. We can't possibly list all the paying markets Coffee Break for Writers has treated its subscribers, but we can list some of our best. All the paying market links should open in a new window.

At the time these links were added, they were all
paying markets, but things can change. Therefore, if you happen to find a paying market below that no longer offers payment to writers, please let us know which of the paying markets has become a non-paying market. Letting us know this information helps us keep this page updated with only paying markets. A writer comes here in search of paying markets, so we intend to deliver on our promise of only paying markets, and with your help we can do just that. :-)

We do not take any responsibility for the
paying markets listed here. So, please investigate the paying markets thoroughly before making your decision to submit to them.

Are you a
paying market? If so, we will be happy to list your information in the next edition of Coffee Break for Writers. There are only two requirements to be listed in the Coffee Break for Writers e-zine ... One, you must pay writers at a rate of $.10 or more per word, or a flat rate of $25 or more. And two, your Web site must also include your guidelines for writers. If you meet those two requirements, send your paying market our way
