(Note: see updated lists here: poetry, short fiction, non-literary works/articles)
These are paying markets that accept online submissions or submissions via email. Again, check the site first if they are open to submissions at this time.
Note that we categorize a journal/magazine as a paying market if payment rates are clearly stated in their submission guidelines. If not, they will not appear on this list. This is not comprehensive but we will update this on a monthly basis as we discover more journals/magazines with online submission system that pay for literary works.
Asia Writes does not offer payment to contributors, but we hope to still receive submissions from you. You may find our guidelines HERE. As we just started last January, we will find a way to nominate poems/stories to Pushcart, Best of the Net, and Best of the Web by next year, besides publishing your works alongside those by prominent Asian writers.
Good luck!
