Literary Magazines & Websites

The following are literary magazines and websites to which you can submit your work for publication.

Remember to read their submission guidelines first! Pay attention to things like:

  • Length (word/line limits)
  • Number of submissions allowed per given period of time
  • Submission method (email, attachment, snail mail)
  • The general style of the work that each specific magazine publishes. It’s always a good idea to read at least a couple of pieces from a couple of different issues. Some magazines are also genre-specific (horror, romance, alternative form).

duotrope’s digest: A great place to start, because you can search for literary magazines that will accept works like yours.
