Today, it is incredibly simple to establish your online presence as a writer, whether through a self-published blog, or through getting published on a website or virtual magazine.
While this is wonderful to get your name out there as a writer, you should still do your best to get published in print. Not only is being published in print almost a necessity to land internships and high-paying writing gigs, it is also essential to building a solid writer's resume.
Below, you'll find a list of print publications open to submissions. Many will pay for your work, and provide you with a complimentary issue if your work is selected to be published.
So, go ahead. Give it a try!
