Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
There is a book that comes out every year called the Writer's Market!. Look up the title on Amazon and you will see a whole list of books that will tell you where you can sell your work, whether it be poetry, children's books, short stories, etc!.

I have the 2008 Writer's Market and there are thousands of entries regarding where you can sell your work!.

As far as the making money part, I am sorry to tell you that it is not all that easy!. You should write for the love of writing and look upon being published as a bonus!. If you are indeed in need of money, as most of us are, then trying to make it by writing is not a good idea!. I tell you this as somebody who has studied writing markets!. There are so many manuscripts sent to publishers, magazine editors, and literary agents, that it is easy for your work to get lost in the mix!. also, there is an increasing number of companies that won't even accept unsolicited manuscripts anymore!.

Please take my advice and buy the Writer's Market book!. It will help you to understand the market, and to see what it will take to get your work published!. also, remember that getting published is more important than making money from your work!. That is the first hurdle!.

Good luck to you and keep writing!Www@QuestionHome@Com
