Hi Gang,
I subscribe to a weekly newsletter called “Funds For Writers,” by C. Hope Clark. There are always great tips and articles to get you going, and give you new ideas. Hope is a great proponent of finding contests, markets and funds that you didn’t even know existed, and everything she lists is a paying market. You can sign up for the newsletter here: http://www.fundsforwriters.com/
For an amazing interview, where she talks about how she got started, and more about funds, listen to this podcast : http://www.writingshow.com/podcasts/2006/05082006.html
Be prepared to take notes!
Another fantastic podcast, by Barbara DeMarco-Barrett, out of University of California/Irvine: http://writersonwriting.blogspot.com/ Barbara interviews authors, as well as many in the publishing industry, like editors & agents.
Another newsletter, with paying markets and industry news, including a writer’s forum: http://www.writersweekly.com/
There is so much information out there, and with just these few sites, you will find inspiration, information, and hopefully – publication!!
Good Luck,
Heidi
