Erika Krouse’s Ranking of 500 Literary Magazines for Short Fiction
Editor, writing coach, and fiction writer Erika Krouse ran the numbers on some 500 journals publishing literary short fiction. Rankings are based on circulation, pay rates for writers, subjective "coolness" factors, and how frequently stories from these publications are selected for Best American Short Stories, O. Henry Awards, and Pushcart Prizes. While there's room for debate about the value of these metrics, the comprehensive list of markets will be useful for writers seeking new submission venues.
