Arizona Foothills Magazine
WritersWeekly has removed this market listing. A reader sent in a complaint alleging this mag owes more than $2,000. The reader sent in a slew of emails exchanged with the publisher to back-up the allegations. Basically, the emails acknowledge the money is past-due but then state they can't tell the writer when payment will be forthcoming.

HINTS: "The common mistakes: Writers who approach erotica as a bit of fun, who have not written erotica before, presuming that it's a bit of slap and tickle. If a writer feels icky about erotica, then they shouldn't submit to us, as we can detect the icky feeling a mile away, usually within the first three paragraphs. After our Feb 2008 launch, we will plan themed issues (for fiction submissions), and are looking at running competitions."
