Inglenook is an online magazine of magical writing, and writing about magic: “Come ye witches, lovers of magic and magick, mystics and seekers of enchantment: gather by our fire and send us your best speculative prose.” They publish both fiction and creative nonfiction, and they especially love writing that explores the space between fantasy and reality.

Inglenook also aims to be a resource for reading about magic and speculative fiction. On their blog, they publish articles such as “Are Fairies Real? The Best Books About Fairies 2025,” “The Best Books About the Magic of Nature,” and “The Best Speculative Fiction – 2025.”

Their literary magazine, published separately from their blog, features fiction and nonfiction released on a rolling basis. They launched in February, and so far they’ve published four pieces.

Inglenook is always open for submissions, and authors of fiction and creative nonfiction may submit one piece, 250 to 3,500 words. Authors of creative nonfiction may submit memoires, essays, and flashes. Authors of fiction may submit speculative fiction and magical realism, but not high fantasy. Submitting authors can expect a response within about two months.
