35 Magazines Accepting Literary Fiction

(Written by S. Kalekar) These magazines publish literary fiction. Most also accept other genres, like nonfiction and poetry, and many of them pay. Apart from the journals in this list, some other prestigious ones are also open now, including The New Yorker, One Story, The Gettysburg Review (which charges for online, but not for mailed submissions), and Cricket Media’s literary magazines for children; they all accept literary fiction. Most, but not all, of the magazines in the list below are open for submissions now.

And for those wishing to submit genre work, please see this list by Emily Harstone.
