We’ve researched payment rates and found contact information for all of these publications, to make it easy for you to connect with the right publisher.

For paid subscribers, I encourage you to send me a draft pitch before contacting any of these publications. I would love to help you polish a pitch, to maximize your chances of getting it published.
