Journals That Read in the Summer—Part 1


Summer is when many of us have more time for at last sending off those poems that have been waiting for our attention. The problem is that a number of the journals on our lists don't read in the summer. However, there are journals that do read during all or part of the summer. Here's Part 1 of my list of those journals. Please note that these are all print journals. Also, please note that it might not be one hundred percent accurate as journals often change their guidelines or cease to exist. Check guidelines at the journal's website. Then please, if you find an error, let me know. Good luck! Parts 2 and 3 will follow.

  2. What a generous post! You have gone to some effort to offer this, and thank you for it. I'm going to get out my files and do something about it.

  3. Hi! Just came across your blog. You probably know about this site, but I was recently turned on to Duotrope Digest (http://www.duotrope.com/), which has a comprehensive database of journals both online and in print. You can search the database with various limitations - one of which is to exclude temporarily closed venues. Thought you and your readers might find it a further aid to summer publishing.

    Best to you!
