Re: Question for the published writers here

(Anonymous) 2013-08-06 03:47 am (UTC)(link)
No, publication does NOT trump payment. The reason why is because publications that pay nothing tend to be unimpressive in terms of a resume builder. Why? Because if they had a decent circulation and a good reputation, they'd pay their writers. Agents know this, and they're not going to consider publication without pay on the same level as getting published in a semi-pro or pro level publication. They'll probably consider it about on level with "I posted my work to Fictionpress!" in terms of publishing street cred. Don't bother.

To the OP, submit to places that pay first. If they reject the piece and you're still desperate to see it in print or online somewhere, anywhere, then fine, submit it to a place that doesn't pay. But read the fine print-- you may be giving away the rights to your work for nothing, and that's just a terrible idea. You'd be better off self-publishing in ebook format. Even paying to publish your own stuff isn't necessarily a no-no as long as you understand what you're getting into.

Please don't waste hundreds or thousands of dollars on a scam. Google first, do your research to make sure the place is legit.
