Two essays I read from them recently include “ The Church of Food,” by Collier Meyerson and Elias Roriques, which eulogizes Anthony Bourdain, and “ An Account of My Hut,” by Christina Nichol, which recounts the author’s struggle to figure out the best way to fight climate change through collective action and storytelling while also dealing concurrently with the effects of environmental and economic degradation– wildfires and gentrification. You need a subscription to read their magazine, but they do produce some online content. ![]() I remember looking at N+1 back in my college days back when it had a barebones html design, and it definitely seems to have blossomed since then. I’ve also been checking out’s N+1’s online content. Right now, I’m keeping tabs on the “Woven” series, essays on the #MeToo movement, including this really heartbreaking and powerful essay about the culture of sexism and sexual violence in medicine, “The Men in Medicine and the Theory of Evolution” by Helena Rho.įor more information, here are Entropy’s submission guidelines. They also have really insightful nonfiction essays and they publish some fiction and poetry. Here is the where-to-submit page for this summer. Every couple months, they feature places to submit your writing, including journals, presses, chapbooks, and writing retreats and residencies. Yes, they have published two of my nonfiction essays, but aside from being grateful for their patronage, I genuinely love their site. My first recommendation for the month of is for a site for which I have a personal fondness: Entropy. I’ll try not to feature too many of my friends’ work since I don’t think that would be totally fair, but if I really believe in the writing they’ve published, I will share it. I promise you, I wasn’t trying to overlook your piece, I probably just didn’t happen to click on it. If you happen to be a writer who is featured in the journal I recommend (or in another journal), and you’re disappointed that I didn’t mention your piece, email me a link to your piece (litbloom at gmail dot com), and I’ll take a look at it. In each post I will feature 3-4 journals with a few works that I liked from their site. I’ve been doing a bit of both for the past year, and I’d like to share you, my friends, some of my personal recommendations. is a paid service that shows you statistics about different publications, such as their response times and approximately how many people are submitting to them, but it doesn’t cover the content in the journals. I still think the best way to go about finding stories, essays, and poems that you might like is to a) make friends with other literary-minded people (whether you’re friends with them in person or just over the internet) and see what they recommend and b) find random literary journals, click on a random link, and see what they have to offer. comes close- they feature content from many different magazines and presses around the web. But as of right now, I have yet to discover such a system. ![]() I wish there were some sort of cataloguing system, an app maybe (I’m not a tech person so don’t expect me to come up with this), that recorded all the different literary content out on the web and sorted it to help a reader who has some time to read from the web, but not all the time in the world, to find cool new writing. How is it possible to find what kind of work you like reading and how can you possibly find a place to submit to that fits your style and actually might accept your submission? There are thousands of literary journals, each diligently producing issues. But I keep feeling overwhelmed by just how much content there is out there online. While trying to decide how to re-vamp this blog, I’ve been plucking stories and essays from the internet here and there, reading a bit of this and that and trying to come up with some sort of system for how to read literature on the web. ![]()
