Wondering where to submit your poetry, flash fiction and short stories? We have searched the globe to find you great places to send your work. This month we pulled together an international lineup of literary magazines and journals that publish in English, are friendly to emerging writers, and don’t have egregiously long response times. (If you’re really in a hurry, check out the ‘Great Places to Submit if You Hate to Wait’ lists.)
- Leopards & Limes (Germany) – publishes poetry, flash fiction and short stories (up to 3,000 words), including reprints and translations. They are looking for ‘wildly hilarious, off the wall, surreal and surprising, but also stories that are serious, and moving’. Allow two months for a response.
- Fiction Pool (UK) CLOSED – publishes poetry, flash fiction and short stories (up to 3,000 words). They are looking for work which is ‘bold and daring’. For a small donation, they’ll give you some feedback. Allow three months.
- Cosmonauts Avenue (Canada) – we’re a long-time fan of this online journal. They want work that ‘pays careful attention to craft while remaining urgent and surprising’ and are dedicated to amplifying underrepresented voices. They publish poetry and flash, short and not-so-short fiction (up to 8,000 words). Allow at least three months.
- The Stockholm Review (Sweden) – publishes poetry and flash, short and not-so-short fiction (up to 8,000 words). They are fans of J.D. Salinger, Renata Adler, David Foster Wallace, Leonard Cohen and Frank O’Hara. In other words, they have good but somewhat quirky taste. Allow at least three months.
- Brilliant Flash Fiction (Ireland) – as the name implies they accept fiction of up to 1,000 words. They’re looking for stories that are a little bit unusual and lots of fun to read. Allow three months but they usually respond faster.
Previous recommendations that we still think are great places to submit Jellyfish Review (Indonesia) and Eunoia Review (Singapore).

As a writer based in India this site seems to be quite interesting and informative.
I am an aspiring writer in English Poetry How can I send the article
Infant migrant
Walking
Walking
Walking
In the morn in the eve
At night at noon
Haven’s eye too hot and dry
Hell’s eye too light and meek
Dark is soft
As the black
As the untouchables
As the downtrodden
As the refugee
As the migrant
Where am I walking
Where am I coming
What’s my destination
Who’s my guide
Heaven is closed
Hell is open wide
God is deep asleep
Devil is kindly awake
I am weak and weary
I can’t walk anymore
Where are those caring hands
That always caressed me
Where are those two fountains of love
That eagerly fed me
I miss the milk of kindness
I lost the hands fragile but safe
It was too cold
But I was warm
In those flowery bed
What happened her
Why doesn’t she wake up
Why doesn’t she open
The magic pots of elixir
I called her again and again
She never answers
Why is she angry
Why is she icy cold
Why is she so adamant
What crime have I done
Can’t she hear my sobs
Can’t she see my tears
My lips are dry
My voice is lost
My bowels are empty
Some say she left me
Others she is no more
They give a verdict
She was already sick
Now I am aware
She was sick
She was seriously sick
Her sickness was horrible
Her sickness was terrible
I too feel sick
Everyone feel sick
Her sickness was hunger
It was hunger hunger
Hunger

This was refreshing! I haven’t found online magazines based outside the US until now. I hope some of these are open for submissions during 2020.
Love, from Venezuela.
