Freelance Writing Opportunities — Magazines Accepting Freelance Pitches
3 Online Writing Markets That Pay Accepted Stories Between $100.00–6,000.00
2 nonfiction magazines and one fiction magazine looking for freelance-written content.
Are you looking for new places to submit your work? Finding places that you are interested in writing for can be difficult. Here are 3 different magazines you can try. The first two are looking for nonfiction freelancers; you will need to pitch your ideas and get approval before you write. The last magazine is a fiction magazine, and they accept unsolicited manuscripts.

Carve Magazine is a literary magazine that publishes fiction.
Fiction: Carve does charge a $3.00 reading fee for non-subscribers, so keep this in mind if you are thinking of submitting to them. They accept simultaneous submissions but only want one story submitted at a time. This means that before you submit again, you need to wait for a response to your previous submitted story.
They do not want genre fiction and only accept novel excerpts if they can stand alone. There is no minimum word count, but the maximum word count is 10,000. All works submitted must be previously unpublished.
