fun fact: moles have extra thumbs on each forepaw. an even more fun fact: ours used his to dig up some lit mags for you. isn’t he a dear? (trick question. you can’t say no, because he puts on his tiny little glasses to read all the comments, and gets upset when they’re not nice!)

6 Lit mags you gotta submit to this week (& why)

Pleiades Magazine
An 80s mag that continues to stay relevant. They have a great book review as well as a print and online presence, and their acceptance rate is very much in the sweet spot.

The London Magazine
A literary magazine older than my grandpa, but one that’s pretty much cemented its place in the lit mag world.

The Literary Fantasy Magazine
A mag that’s new to me but has been around for a couple years. They want stories that challenge convictions and paint new horizons.

A Public Space
I’ve met some of the folks behind A Public Space and this lit mag and press has a great, genuine team behind it.

VOLTA
A fairly new lit mag that has a great name (I’m a sucker for all-caps names), they want work that’s imagistically vibrant and emotionally raw and ambitious.

ONLY POEMS
In preparation and celebration for this not-a-real-holiday-but-what-the-heck, the Poem of the Month theme is all about dads. So, um, send your daddy poems.
