Monday Morning Markets/Jobs/Opportunities

Oh, happy time! This weekend the latest iteration (it's updated every fall and spring) of our ever-popular Directory of Paying Essay Markets went online. Now expanded to include more than 125 print, online, and anthology markets that will pay for your essays--and provide their guidelines and pay rates online. Check it out here, where you can download a preview with free sample listings.

The Massachusetts Review has updated its guidelines. Notable: The journal now accepts submissions electronically; there's a $3 charge per annual reading period to use this system. More information here.

New feature at the Common Ties blog: The "20 Questions" section encourages writers "to share their answers in the form of very short [true] short stories/snippets." Pays: $50 per accepted answer and $50 per accepted recording. Also pays for artwork. Find the questions and guidelines here.
