Paid Markets for Writers

I happened upon this Web site, FundsforWriters, focused on finding "paying markets for writers." From their site:
"Other websites provide guidance on how to write, how to query, how to format manuscripts, and so on. We give you direction on the funding streams. We focus on markets, competitions, awards, grants, publishers, agents, and jobs for your writing abilities."
They have quite a few newsletters so that the opportunities they find are delivered to your inbox or you can peruse the listings on the site. At a cursory glance, their market listings seem to lean toward wholesome content, so this might not be the resource for you if you are looking for places to submit edgier work. Maybe they will ring in here and let us know. In the meantime, I've subscribed to their lists so you might want to check them out, too.

UPDATE: Hope at FundsForWriters did chime in and said that they do list edgier stuff as it comes up. Click on comments below to see her response. Thanks, Hope!
