True Romance and True Love pay 3 cents a word. They also accept email submissions. Sometimes I hear quickly. OTOH, they've had one story over a year. It's not much but I earned enough last year to pay my way to a national writing conference in San Francisco.
Also, writing seems to pay nothing, and yet all of these people seem to want my money. What's up with that?
Are they asking you to pay to have your story published? If so, RUN! That is known as vanity or subsidy press and you do not want to get involved with that.
