Today I have a list that I've put together of nine (I somehow just couldn't crack ten) writing markets for short fiction.
Each one in the list has dozens of fiction writing markets and one is a list of short fiction writing opportunities that pay $1,000 or more.
So if you start working through this list and write and submit stories to all the suitable markets for your work, you could earn six-figures from your fiction writing.
It's food for thought, isn't it?

List of Fiction Writing Markets
Today I have a list of paying fiction writing markets.
So you can put your creative thinking cap on while you peruse this list, then start writing and submitting.
If you were to be successful with all your submissions, you could earn well over $10,000 for your efforts.
That's the beauty of being a writer. If you're successful with your freelance writing submissions and publishing, your earnings can be substantial.
And that's the best feeling in the world...to us writers at least. :)
