Dig Out Your Fantasies
Wow. A professional, easy-to-read, and understandable website that makes me want to weep in relief. And they pay well. A++ compared to some of the websites we’ve been looking at this month.
Who: Realms of Fantasy
What: Fantastic short fiction. (But isn’t that what they all want? 
How: They want fantasy. Any area in the realms of fantasy: heroic, contemporary, traditional, feminist, dark, light, and the ever-popular “unclassifiable.”
And no SciFi. No alien worlds or super-high-tech.
How long: Up to 10,000 words.
How much: Under 7,500 words, you get five cents per word. Over a total of 7,500 words, that drops to three cents per word. A new writer with a 10,000 word story will walk away with $400. That’s a nice chunk of change.
Is there a catch? Not really. Three cents per word isn’t horrendous. Five cents per word is perfectly reasonable.
Where: Snail mail city. Typed submissions, double-spaced, SASE. You can read all about it here .
