These five literary journals are all new which might make them especially willing to consider submissions from previously unpublished writers. For more information, check out their web sites.
Counterclock
This online literary and art publication founded in summer 2017 is dedicated to showcasing high-quality poetry, fiction, nonfiction, visual art, and cross-genre work. They publish writing on a quarterly basis and have just published their first issue.
Speculative City
This literary journal publishes speculative and provocative works that are centered within a cityscape. They want to encourage writers and characters often underrepresented in speculative fiction, such as people of color, queer people, working-class people, and people with disabilities. They are a paying market. They close to submissions December 15th. They have yet to publish their first issue.
GUESTHOUSE
Founded by two women writers about to complete the University of Iowa’s Masters of Fine Arts program, GUESTHOUSE has a well crafted website and a dual focus on fiction and poetry. They are accepting submissions for their second issue.
Riggwelter
Riggwelter publishes poetry, fiction, visual art, and experimental media. They are looking for work that makes them fall in love, work with that ineffable something that makes them stop, and then start again in an entirely new direction. Their first issue is available online, and the foreword provides some thoughts by the editor about the process of selecting work for Riggwelter.
Ariel Chart
Ariel Chart is seeking brief writing. Based in Australia, they publish short works of poetry and microfiction. Like most small things, tiny pieces of writing are often ignored in the publishing world. Ariel Chart hopes to help. They aim to champion meaningful literary works, no matter how small. You can read the work published on their website to get a sense of what they like.
