I’m going to retire my longstanding page that lists journals that accept online submissions (to your left). Why? It’s virtually impossible to keep up, seeing as how journals are flocking to online submissions. It would probably be easier by now to have a list of journals that don’t accept online submissions.
If by this point, literary journals still aren’t accepting online submissions, they are one of the following:
a. Big enough so that you will send your submission anyways, in the wild hope that you will be the one out of 20,000 they rescue from the slush vortex.
b. Don’t really want slush pile submissions. After all, it’s kind of annoying to have to reject all of them in favor of solicited, agented submissions.
c. Old, stubborn, and unable to read on those newfangled screen thingys. Kindle means to start a fire, right?
d. So technologically impotent they can’t figure out how to integrate Submishmash, Tellitslant or CLMP. And believe that all culture should remain in the 90s, before the millinium came and ruined everything.
e. Believe in the sanctity of the United States Postal Service, and would love to have authors tithe most of their income to buy stamps and postage.
f. All of the above.
