Journals Accepting Novellas

ATTENTION: See my updated list.

The market for publishing novellas is much slimmer than for short stories, but it’s not non-existent. Below are some markets to send that novella or novelette. Many are literary journals and some are contests. Since I get asked all the time about literary journals that allow you to submit novellas, I hope this helps.

• Alaska Quarterly Review (under 50 pages)
• A Public Space
• Carpe Articulum Novella Contest (up to 150 pages)
• The Collagist
