    Default Short story magazines

    I know a lot of Stephen King's work has appeared in magazines before being published in book form, and it seems that that is a common way writers attempt to get published starting out. I've never been much of a magazine reader, so I'm not really familiar... what magazines are out there that feature good stories, and where can you get them?

    Get a subscription to 'Writer's Digest' and 'Poets and Writers.' Even if you're not into wordslinging, there are (sometimes) good articles and story submissions, and all the contact information you need will be in there. Not a bad $25 spent on both for a year.

    Your local librarians are also a good source. Those that I've encountered really want to assist readers. Mine make me embarassed about how much extra work they do...

    Look at the writing section of a magazine stand at your bookstore, too. You'll find genre magazines like Cemetery Dance or Ellery Queen and literary magazines like Tin House cheek by jowl.

    If you're looking for places to publish short fiction, google "duotrope."
