If you are a new writer looking to get published, you might be feeling a little bit overwhelmed. Typing "literary magazines open for submissions" into a search bar or scrolling Submittable often adds to the confusion instead of getting you closer to publication: there are too many opportunities, and you need to look into each of them to check what they are looking for in terms of style, word count and genre. It takes a long time, and let's be frank: you'd rather be writing.

An online resource that can help you with your search is Christopher Fielden's website:

There's a wealth of information, from literary magazine and contest listings to writing advice and real success stories to sink your teeth into.

The list of magazines is one I like referring back to: it doesn't only list the name of the publication, but their location, submission method, pay, genre restriction and word count. This will save you time visiting each of their websites and looking for this information on your own.
