PAYING MARKETS

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

Financial Executive - We rec'd an email from Jeffrey Marshall, Editor in Chief of Financial Executive, on 8/31/06. He accused us of running a market listing without permission. We replied by forwarding emails we've exchanged with his Executive Editor, Ellen Heffes, over the past two years. She is the one who has provided us with annual updates. Needless to say, his email raised false accusations (it said" We have never given permission to list our name") and we will not be listing them in the future.
