🧑🦱 "Some guy who ranks all the lit journals you’ve ever heard of" ✍️ @Missouri_Review @TheHudsonReview @BaltimoreEditor @xraylitmag @forge_litmag & more
New website is up. My ranking of lit mags is available at: brechtdepoortere.com
Amid all the doom and gloom about lit mags shutting down or hiking submission fees, there’s also encouraging news: I noticed more are starting to pay writers, and many that already did are increasing their rates 💲
Stories are like cheese 🧀 They need to mature to be at their best
In addition to @VQR and @IowaReview, the @Colorado_Review also opens for submissions on 1 August! I wish I had stuff to submit 😭
No details available yet on the theme of the next Conjunctions submission call, except that the issue will be called "Anew", so if you have fiction/non-fiction/poetry that might relate, get ready! 🙂
Submissions are now OPEN for our Fall 2025 issue! Submit #poetry, #fiction, #nonfiction, and #art by August 29, 2025. We look forward to seeing your work! Complete submission guidelines: remingtonreview.wixsite.com/remingtonreview #litmag #poets #writers #artists #callforsubmissions #submissions
Oh, and another one that opens for submissions on 1 August: the @IowaReview
Later, in my castle, I will not only have a room dedicated to miniatures and one to German romantic landscapes, but also one to paintings of waves 🌊
Mark your calendars!🗓️ @VQR opens for submissions on 1 August!
Yes, and how many years can some people exist Before they're allowed to be free? Yes, and how many times can a man turn his head And pretend that he just doesn't see?

Our submissions are filling up! We'd love to read your #CNF #Fiction #Poetry for consideration in our Fall 2025 issue.
When I was 14, I moved to a school where all the boys thought it was cool to write poetry. No kidding.
This wasn't nearly as bad as people make it out to be. The only thing is that sometimes it turns into a list of (occasionally nonsensical) one-liners. But there are some beautiful passages too.
With their tanks and their bombs And their bombs and their guns
I might have to let go of this opportunity due to the lack of funds. Time is very limited. My heartfelt request to all to please contribute and share widely. The amount is large but if everyone chipped in with little, I will reach my goal. #SupportFlora chuffed.org/project/135859…
I have to say, Olivia Rodrigo gives a pretty impressive show
