Now, I’ve talked about submission fees before. I’ve put together a list of journals that pay—most of which don’t charge submission fees, unless otherwise stated. I’ve resigned myself to the fact that many journals need to charge that $3 fee—but a $3 processing fee is different than five dollars, or ten dollars, or twenty-five dollars. With that in mind:

HERE ARE THE JOURNALS THAT CHARGE A STUPID AMOUNT FOR SUBMISSIONS—NOT FOR CONTESTS OR FAST-RESPONSES BUT JUST REGULAR EVERY DAY OPEN-READING PERIOD SUBMISSIONS:
