We are certainly in those long, sweaty dog days of summer, and in the world of subs & pubs this often means scratching our head wondering... who's still open? or who's reopening? So I did a quick & dirty search of 201 lit mags in hopes of creating a helpful cheat sheet.
A couple caveats to keep in mind:
* This reflects a search from 07/28/22 -- 08/04/22. Things may have already changed in some places (e.g. some mags close as soon as Submittable caps are reached).
* I'm looking at fiction only, these don't necessarily reflect poetry, CNF, etc.
* These may not take into account contests or specific themed calls. For the most part, this reflects general submissions.
* I hope this is a helpful starting point, but of course please read full submission guidelines before submitting.
* Apologies to mags not on the list. I promise it's nothing personal.
