Finding just the right publication to write for can be a little tricky and quite time consuming if you aren’t sure where to begin. You may feel like you aren’t ready or like your writing isn’t good enough.

Trust me, the right publication for you to pitch is out there. You just have to find it and send the pitch so you can get paid!

When I first started freelance writing I wish I’d known how many different types of publications and magazines were out there. There are publications in every corner of the country.

Below are some paying markets in and around the Southern region of the United States.
