Good LitFic Magazines?

JacobS.Tucker · Jan 16, 2015

Hey everyone,

I was looking for a couple of good magazines to submit some short stories to. I have a couple in mind, but also looking for some more for options to kind of check it out and see what would be good for me. Any suggestions?

Online or print doesn't matter to me.

Thanks!

The Paris Review is a good one. Have sub'd to them in the past.

Make sure you buy copies of any magazines you are thinking about submitting to. You need to read a few issues to know if your work is suitable; and most literary magazines struggle to keep going: if every writer who submitted their work to them bought just one copy, they almost certainly would not only not struggle, they'd be able to invest in better marketing and distribution too, which would enable them to reach a bigger audience. Which would be good for us all.

I second Old Hack. Also, there was a discussion about this recently on AW here.
