Monday Morning Market Listings

If you're not already regularly checking Duotrope.com for new poetry and short fiction market listings (true, not all of them pay, but some certainly do), consider yourself reminded. Among my recent discoveries there: Gray's Sporting Journal, which buys poetry and prose ($600-$1,250 for features; $300 for "yarns"; $100 for poetry; $850 for an "expeditions" piece, plus $75 per picture). Check the detailed guidelines here.
