Spotting scams

Where in the past writers entered writing competitions and submitted their stories to literary magazines and the thought of paying for the opportunity to do that was unheard of.

 Any contest or magazine looking to milk fees from writers was very easily identified as a scammer. In the new world we live in, some legitimate literary magazines and contests charge writers a small fee to submit. So how do we now differentiate between legitimate contests and magazines, and crooks? I want to try and help you navigate these complicated waters.
