Literary Magazines

Niche Magazine was created to be inclusive and we consider pieces that are well-crafted, original and previously unpublished. We will only accept pieces that are submitted through our Submission Manager powered by Submittable. Since we hope to publish experimental forms there is no required format. We publish any subject and within any genre. Pieces should be 4,500 words or less. In addition, we seek photography and artwork, submitted as JPEGs.

Our purpose is to keep literature alive through the subversive activity of poetry and/or the poetry of subversive activity.

We aim to publish all types of poetry of a spiritual nature. Excellence is the only criterion.

We want to see the diversity of responses to the theme of spirituality.

Every veteran and every military family member has a story. This site is where those stories get told. Sure, there are other places to hear or read the stories: around the bar, on a road trip, in some other journal. But like the man says, “This is my rifle. There are many like it, but this one is mine.” This is our journal. It was conceived by and designed for, is run by, features work written by, and provides voice to members of the military community.

Our purpose is to publish the best contemporary poetry from around the world from submissions to our contest. Judged anonymously, there is a $1,000 prize offered annually.

The Other Journal welcomes the submission of critical essays, reviews, creative writing, and visual or performance art that encounter life through the lens of theology and culture; we seek pieces that consider the interaction of faith with contemporary life, art, politics, sexuality, technology, economics, and social justice. Although we primarily focus on perspectives within the Christian tradition, we invite dialogue with all who are interested in exploring the ongoing role of faith and spirituality in the world.

To the end of the road, up country, a far shore, the edge of things, to a place of amalgamation and unplumbed depths, where the known is made and unmade, and where unimagined futures are born, a place inhabited by contradictions, a place of quirk and startling anomaly, [PANK], no soft pink hands allowed.

Founded in 2011, Paper Nautilus has a broad range of taste. Our only criteria is quality, so whether you specialize in hybrid genres, minimalist experimental short stories, traditional sonnets, you name it—if it's done well, we want to see it. We believe in variety, and gravitate toward producing a magazine that's dynamic, eclectic, and refreshing in our selections. We also strive to support emerging writers, in addition to those already established in their careers.

Wherever you are or whoever you may be, we want to publish your excellent work. Whether you’re an emerging or established writer, make your brilliance known to us like the stars that illuminate from the black voids, the darkness that is space. Move, shake, and break our hearts. Make us wish we wrote it. Leave us wanting.
