List of Magazines and Presses
Magazines and presses are presented alphabetically; inclusion on this list does not equal an endorsement. Whenever possible, I've linked to submission guidelines rather than submission portals. For the most part, those on this list either pay, offer very quick response times, offer free feedback regardless of acceptance, and/or accept previously published work. All accept simultaneous submissions unless noted. I'll fill this list out over time with as much information as I can. Sortable database coming soon. If you'd like assistance preparing your work for submission, please e-mail me at [Work AT RiveraErica DOT com].
