Writers who want to get their foot in the door of the publishing world should always be looking for outlets open to short story submissions. In many ways, these publications can serve as a training ground for aspiring authors — giving them experience in appealing to editors while also building their resumé and growing their fan base. They also offer the chance to get paid for your writing, which is nothing to be sniffed at. If you are a budding poet or author looking for your first shot at glory, take a look at these publications currently accepting short story submissions.

AGNI

About: “We look for writing that catches experience before the crusts of habit form—poetry and prose that resist ideas about what a certain kind of writing “should do.” We seek out writers who tell their truths in their own words and convince us as we read that we’ve found something no one else could have written.”

Deadline: September 1 - May 31

Compensation: $10 per printed page

Word Count: No set word limit

Submission Guidelines: here

The Antioch Review

About: “We seldom publish more than three short stories in each issue. New writers as well as the previously published authors are welcome. It is the story that counts, a story worthy of the serious attention of the intelligent reader, a story that is compelling, written with distinction. Only rarely do we publish translations of well-known or new foreign writers. A chapter of a novel is welcome only if it can be read complete in itself as a short story.”

Deadline: September 1st - May 31st

Compensation: $20 per printed page and two copies of the issue

Word Count: Up to 5,000 words

Submission Guidelines: here
