Print magazines taking online submissions

Here is our very popular list of magazines that are print magazines taking online submissions. A few years ago this was a very big deal, and it still is. Now most large and even commercial magazines take online submissions. At one time this was not the case.

Either way this list will give you an avenue to publish your writing in a print magazine. Some of our new and emerging magazines are of course much easier to publish your work in than the older more well-established magazines. If you want to see your work in print, this list if for you. We believe it will give you the best chance of seeing this happen.

We have been listing these print magazines taking online submissions for over 10 years.  Some of these listings are brand new, others may be out of date. If you see a listing that needs to be updated, please leave us a comment. We do take action. 

Good luck publishing your work.

Stone Highway Review

Posted on July 17, 2011February 25, 2025 by Every Writer
I get excited by writing that tries new things. When a writer can make that comparison that I wish I had come up with first. When the poem isn't trying too hard and somehow makes me feel. When a piece is so lovely and gosh darn sensitive to human nature that I can't help but sigh. I love newness, strangeness, but I equally enjoy traditional poetry, language used in a precise and controlled manner, and when a writer creates a world that I have never seen before. It's the kind of writing that you know you like as soon as you read it, that lingers, that makes you come back to it and read it again.
