Short Story Publications


New! Where possible, within each citation I've provided in-text links to anthology and magazine publishers' pages on the web. I hope you'll find these useful. Guidelines and submission requirements vary from publisher to publisher, so consult each individually for these. Best of all, take a look at literary magazines and small press offerings themselves. See the sort of work they publish. For a general discussion of literary publishing, you may want to check out my brief essay, "Navigating the Literary Marketplace."
