In the last 6 months the following journals opened their metaphorical doors for the first time.

A number of magazines on this particular list have specific focuses and areas of interest.

It is great to submit to new journals as the editors tend to have more energy and enthusiasm. They also tend to be more open to new authors or authors with only a small list of past publications. Of course new journals don’t yet have a reputation, one way or the other, so there is some risk attached to it.

Not all of these journals are currently open to submissions, but the majority are.

As always with these cut and paste copies of articles from the free online magazine of, 'Authors Publish', the links probably don't work. If so, please google the site's name and take it from there.

Good name. For those not familiar with the genre, "Le Horla" is a classic short story by Guy de Maupassant.

Here's a link to the magazine's website: http://www.horla.org/
