I found this list at the Work at Home Woman. It’s possible that there’s something here for everyone, but I have not checked every site, much less pitched them.
You can be a big help to Writer Advice. If you try any of these sites, please let us know what happens.
- Was your writing accepted?
- If not, did you get any useful feedback?
- If yes, did you get paid?
- Did the link show you that the site had closed down?
We’d truly appreciate your feedback.
What’s in it for you? In addition to helping the writing community, it’s a chance to have your opinion published. No guarantees, of course. but I might be able to give you an honorarium if I publish your comments or you enlighten me in some way. Why not give it a try?
