Writers need to read. Did you ever hear of a chef that didn’t notice what s/he ate, or a musician that never listened to music?
One of the online magazines I like is GUD, which stands for Greatest Uncommon Denominator.
It’s not free, although it is cheap. Much as I like to read for free, I don’t expect to write for free, and they have to get the money to pay writers somewhere. They haven’t bought anything of mine yet, but I’ll keep trying. I particularly like the fact that you can buy single stories. In the digital age, why not?
But, cheapskate that I am, I couldn’t resist their competition to win all of issues 1 – 3. See http://www.gudmagazine.com/blog/archive/2008/7/18/issue-3-pre-launch-buzz-contest/
And one day they’ll buy one of my stories.
