Literary Magazine Submissions – Resource Guide for Poetry and Fiction

Another year. Another round of submitting poetry and fiction. Here’s a list of resources I’ve used at different points to make decisions about where to send work.

One thing I’ll suggest is to read as many magazines as possible and connect with writers you like. My best source for new literary magazines is from writers on social media (FB / Twitter). Also, here’s my list of literary magazines active  on twitter.

Please comment with any lists you find valuable.

Happy submission season!
