List of Best Paying Magazines for Writers

For all the fiction writers and poets who want to publish short-stories in magazines; I’ve a better deal for you guys! Now, publish short-stories, flash-fiction and poetry and also get paid in return. I am listing down 10 magazines links which pay upon publication.

      Thank for these leads! You have a generous nature;-) Check out The May 31st deadline for a poetry contest about “ancestors” at The Boston Review. I think the deadline for free submissions has ended, but the one for those willing to pay is still open It has a very interesting theme/twist.
