Summer Journals A-F

It's that time of year again. During the summer many of us have more time to write and submit, but quite a few journals close their doors to submissions for the summer months. Do not despair. There are still many journals that do read during the summer and some that read only during the summer. This is the first of a 3-part list of those journals, all print journals. Sadly, several had to be removed this year as they have closed their doors permanently. But a few have been added.

I have given the lists a thorough updating this year and have added links for your convenience. If you find an error, please let me know.
