Open Season

Do you have a ready-for-the-world, short story or essay, burning a hole in your pocket? Here are a few of my favorite literary magazines, all currently open to on-line submissions.

You can’t win if you don’t play. Get your work out there!

It’s my birthday. Make me happy — submit your stories and let me know how it goes.

Good luck!

Happy Birthday again Teri!

Did you watch the Murray/Robson doubles match? I plan to spend the whole day watching tennis tomorrow.

Oh my god, Downith, I’m in tennis heaven. I’ll be watching all of tomorrow too. Did you see the Williams/Sharapova match? What a trouncing.

  I know. What was up with that? She’s not having a good season – crashed out of Wimbledon too.

Just fired off a story I like a lot to about a half dozen of these. Thanks for the motivation!

Oh, happy birthday to JoJo’s dear mum! Hope your day has been a celebration and that the party lasts long into the night, my friend.

This list is certainly a gift to all of US. Thank you for it!

Thank you! I don’t really have anything to send, but I will bookmark all of these. I’ve been looking for literary magazines to follow in hopes of future submissions! Thanks and happy birthday!

Great. Save them for when you need them. I just followed my own advice and sent out some work. Fingers crossed.

Happy Birthday! (a day late)

Teri Post authorAugust 5, 2012 at 5:12 am

Thanks, Paul. And you’re not late at all, because I claim the whole week as my birthday. 😉

Happy birthday, Teri! (Better late than never.)

XOXO

Thanks. And no short submissions for you, missy —- you have a new book to write!

For story brevity, I was always amazed by Hemingway (at least I think is was him or so the fable goes), whose six word novel was “For sale, baby shoes. Never worn.” Happy birthday, my dear bride. I admire you, particularly your generous spirit.
