1. The Mark Literary Review
The Mark is an online magazine that's always open for submissions! We never charge a fee to submit your work. We're down to read anything! There isn't a specific theme you need to adhere to, but we are most interested in reading creative writing that tears your heart out. Send in your best poetry or short stories and we'll get back to you within two weeks (sometimes sooner). We do not accept previously published work, but we do accept simultaneous submissions. Check out our submission guidelines here.
2. FEED Magazine
FEED is a weekly, online lit mag seeking short poetry, prose, and genre-blending in-betweeners. The writing they're drawn to is brief, intimate, and satiating; works that leave it all on the table or keep them coming back again and again. Short writing, for them, quells hunger with concise, stark images and stories that speak for themselves. FEED defines short-form literature as works of 750 words or less.
