Triond is a website that has been going for a number of years - a simple google search will find it in all its glory.  It is an outlet for writers to be published online and also gives a percentage of its advertising revenue to the writers.  Many who use it aspire to getting in to print on paper too - and this article by highlights a number who have been successful in this endeavour.

If you are a writer and perhaps thinking of giving up because getting your work published has meant a thousand and one letters and emails saying no thanks, then read her article.  Or if you have hit your head metaphorically (and possibly literally) against a brick wall in the process, most definitely read her article!

Thanks to for taking a lot of time out to research this.
