USING
SUBMISSION GUIDELINES  

NEWPAGES.COM has two excellent lists of Literary Magazines which were invaluable in preparing this chart. However, using SUBMISSION GUIDELINES will greatly speed up a Short Story author's search for the best fit for his story.

Suppose your Short Story is 6,750 words long. With NEWPAGES you must go to a magazine’s website, find and search their Guidelines page for the maximum words they will accept. You find it is 2,000 words. Your time was wasted and you go to the next magazine on the list to repeat the process. You eventually find several magazines that will accept a 6,750 word story, but many hours may be wasted searching unhelpful sites.

To use SUBMISSION GUIDELINES, scan the Size Limit column for magazines that accept a 6,750 word story. If a magazine will accept your story's word length, look in the Submission Dates column to see if the magazine's window for reading is open. Finally, tap Guidelines in the Website column for complete submission details. SUBMISSION GUIDELINES filters out unhelpful sites and will save a lot of time. NOTE: If your submission doesn't follow a magazine's guidelines precisely it will most likely be rejected without ever reading it.

SUBMISSION GUIDELINES is for authors of Short Stories, however most magazines also accept poems, essays, reviews, and more (see Publishes column). SUBMISSION GUIDELINES does not list specialty magazines. For example, you won’t find magazines of poems only, or magazines that only read specific genre (science fiction, pornographic, etc.), or that only accept stories from certain authors (women, high school students, race, from Kankakee, etc.).  

TIP: To save a short list of magazines, highlight the magazine's line and paste it into another document such as a WORD document. Then you will have a short list available for quick comparison. Extra columns for your own records can be added for Date Sent, Replies, etc.. This is a good way to keep a record of the magazines you have submitted your story to. NOTE: When highlighting a line, always start inside the table and end inside of table or you will copy more than just one line. Example.

NEWPAGES.COM is best for general information about a magazine and it has a link to the magazine's Home Page:
