PAYING MARKETS

These are NOT recycled guidelines. WritersWeekly.com only features original market listings, received from and approved by the editors at each publication.

Design Magazine - We have removed this market listing after receiving the following email today:
I called one of the paying markets that you had listed in the Aug. 2
issue and wanted to report the results. Brooke Kelley was listed as Associate Editor. She is no longer with the publication. Marsha Hobbs is Editor. They do not take freelance and were a little rude in stating this point. Just thought that you would want to know.

WritersWeekly forwarded the correspondence we had to the publication, including their approval of the listing. They will not be allowed any future listings.
