Magazines that Pay for Poetry
I have compiled a list of magazines that buy poetry. Pay rates range from a tiny $1 per poem to as much as $100 or more.
To be included on my list the magazine had to:
- 1. have a functioning website and provide guidelines for writers online
- 2. be published in the United States
- 3. not be of a specialty market I'd never be interested in reading or writing for (for example, political magazines, children's magazines, etc)
- 4. offer actual payments for poetry, not just prizes
- 5. not charge a reading fee
If you know of additional paying poetry markets that fit these guidelines, please write to me. Also, if you find any of these markets no longer pay for poetry or have changed links, please let me know.
