Manuscripts to Magazines

Fiction, Non-Fiction, and Poetry Submissions

Authors and poets often find their beginnings as published artists within the pages of magazines. The goal of this site is to help lost writers discover the path to publication through information related to choosing a magazine, manuscript preparation, and possible submission sites.

Choosing a Magazine

Find a home for your manuscript. Magazines publish submissions that fit well with their own publication. This helps them to produce a cohesive, knowable product for consumers.

Manuscript Preparation

Preparing a manuscript for publication requires close adherence regarding format conventions. Magazine editors will dismiss a poorly formatted manuscript without even reading it. Often, they assume that authors of such work are amateurs as they throw it in the manuscript in the trash bin.
