While writing a great story can be its own reward, there's no harm in making a bit of dough off the fruits of our labours, right? So here's some markets of varying sizes that will pay you for your work. It ranges from big names like Analog and Asimov's (both major sf and fantasy markets) or The New Yorker (more general fiction) to regional ones like The Malahat Review and The Fiddlehead (both, like me, Canadian) to smaller markets. Have a look and see if there's something of interest to you.
