During our Writers in the Grove workshops, we often suggest to our members that a particular work needs to be sent out to a magazine or online publishing site for publishing.

While there are many writing contests a writer could enter with a poem or short story, the following are articles featuring a variety of places that want your story short work. And some pay fairly well.

• Where to Submit Short Stories: 25 Magazines and Online Publications
• 46 Literary Magazines To Submit To – Let’s Write a Short Story
• Top 50 Literary Magazines – Every Writer’s Resource
• Short Story Magazines – Magazines That Publish Short Stories UK & USA – Christopher Fielden
• 44 Publishers Looking for Short Story Collections – Book Fox
• Where to Submit Short Stories Archives – Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America
• Storyville: Where to Send Your Stories – LitReactor

There are many articles on the web to help you get your short story through the submission process well, but take note of the specifics in “How to Get Your Short Stories Published in Lit Mags” by Writer Unboxed. There are some great guidelines to help.
