In my experience, one of the best ways to become an established author is not by sending out a thousand query letters to agents and independent publishers. Instead, all of my professors in graduate school, famous authors, and poets became established the same way: by publishing their work in literary journals.

A literary journal is a magazine that specializes in publishing work of literary merit. Some focus on a particular genre, like science fiction or crime writing, and others just publish poetry or short stories, or flash fiction. Most are open to work of all kinds.

There are well over four thousand literary journals that are being published at this time. Some are printed publications that have 1-12 issues a year, others are electronic publications. Many literary journals have both print electronic versions.

This book is your guide to getting published in literary journals. We walk you through all of the steps. You’ll learn how to find the right publications, prepare your work for submission, and submit it for publication.

I hope you enjoy the book. If you have any questions, comments, or criticism, please send them my way.
