Hello! Are there any literary journals you recommend? :0
hi! here are some places i have enjoyed reading poetry & fiction from, in no particular order:
Rattle - poetry only. one of the first online lit journals i've been conscious of. top tier stuff!
Augur - more focused on SFF fiction, some poetry. great reads for those who like stories under the speculative umbrella.
Split Lip Magazine - poetry, fiction, flash, art, etc. wide variety of modern & fun stuff.
Josephine Quarterly - poetry, art. there's a quiet & balmy quality to the stuff they publish, imo. i can't stop thinking about this piece.
BRAWL Lit - poetry, art. cool, modern stuff! the editors are also generous enough to include reasons why they accepted the piece, along with a mini interview. they also published one of my poems :)
Okay Donkey - poetry, flash fiction. personally a hit & miss, but there are interesting works in there if you care to forage.
HAD - poetry, flash, etc. though i would say their brand has a very modern lean & not for those looking for Highbrow Literature, i do think they're doing something interesting for writers through their random, specifically themed, timed, or limited submission scheme.
Radon Journal - anarchist science fiction & poetry. i like reading poems here, because i think the genre focus of the magazine opens short form storytelling wide open.
Chestnut Review - poetry, prose, art, interview, etc. includes audio & some introduction about the piece, by the author.
Gone Lawn - prose poetry, flash, fiction, etc. weird-leaning works. like you discovered another realm in your backyard type of stuff.
honorable mentions (no poetry):
Seize The Press - dark speculative fiction, reviews, etc.
Propagule - surrealist & weird fiction, flash, some nonfiction.
Astrolabe - literary fiction, creative nonfiction, art, etc.
there are sooo many great literary journals & magazines out there! my secret to discovering them is chillsubs, which is a valuable resource, not only for writers looking for places to submit their work to, but also for readers. thanks for stopping by!! :)
