Read This: What's Happening in Literary Magazines II — Nonfiction
A followup to this post. Just a few things I've read lately.
If you write nonfiction and you're looking for a place to publish it, check out these pieces from three excellent magazines and see what resonates with you.
NONFICTION
The Heart as a Torn Muscle from Brevity magazine
Love Innings from Little Fiction (yes, the piece is nonfiction in spite of the magazine's name)
Submerged from Story magazine (" " ")
AND here's a list of magazines that publish very short nonfiction pieces. Originally posted in 2012, it was updated in January 2015 and all the links are live. A great resource.

Read This: What's Happening in Literary Magazines — Fiction
Do you read literary magazines? Do you want to write for them?
The Council of Literary Magazines and Presses estimates that there are 600 actively published today; Poets & Writers lists 1,109 in its database. How do you even begin to sort through them?
I don't have a definitive answer. But here are some of the readings from two classes I'm teaching in writing for literary magazines. Most of these are incredibly short; you can read them in under ten minutes. They come from a range of interesting publications. Check them out. Maybe you'll find the home for your next piece.
Over the next two days I'll post a sampling of nonfiction and teen fiction, too.
FICTION
Fat Man and Little Boy, a novel excerpt from Gone Lawn
Let's Go from PANK
The Bad Sleep from Story magazine
(longer; totally worth it)
Boy Teen, flash fiction from Tin House
