One thing you hear a lot with writers is how they started by sending stories to magazines. But I have never seen any of the kinds of magazines they seem to have written for. Are they a thing of the past? Does no one read them enough to make writing for one profitable? I considered writing some sort of pretentious fiction for the New Yorker, but I didn't see anything on their site about pay. Mad Magazine, on the other hand, claims to offer $500 for the first submission from a person that they accept.
