Publishers Accepting Novella SubmissionsPosted by John Woodington on January 5th, 2010
Lo and behold, I was mistaken in my belief that very very few places accepted novella submissions for publication. It turns out it is only a very few, and not a very very. The places I’ve found so far are:
- 42 Magazine
- AGNI
- American Literary Review
- American Short Fiction
- A Public Space
- The Collagist
- Gettysburg Review
- Glimmer Train
- Hunger Mountain
- The Journal
- The Madison Review
- The Malahat Review
- McSweeney’s
- The Missouri Review
- The Normal School
- Quarterly West
- Subtropics
- 42opus
- Eclectica
- Failbetter
- Wild Violet
So that’s 21 different publications that accept novellas, out of over 140 on my master submissions list. I guess one in seven ain’t bad, as they say. Do they say that?
I’ve submitted a novella to a few of the places above, and those I haven’t published with most of them, I can confirm that their novella guidelines are legitimate, and are worth checking out if you’re looking for a home for your 25,000 word story.
Also, is it just me, or do lists look stupid in blogs? I might not do that again. It would have to be a good list, like The Top Places That Give You Free Money or Ten Ways to Avoid Your In-Laws. Something like that.
No offense, in-laws.
