14 Top-Tier Magazines That Want To Watch You Crawl Out of a Rhino’s Butthole
Well established magazines who haven't lost their love for new writers.
“Emerging writer” is one of those terms that sounds weirder the more times you say it. I know it means “New writer” but every time I hear it, I think of Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls. Have you seen it? (It has not aged well). I’ll never forget one scene where Jim Carrey is inside of a robot rhino. It gets super hot in there (or something, I don’t remember exactly) and he needs to get out. The only exit? The rhino’s butthole.
So there is this agonizingly long scene of him all sweaty, prying his way out of this rhino’s butthole while a couple of tourists watch. Gosh, the first time I saw it I must’ve been nine or ten and pissed myself laughing. So, yeah, whenever I see the term “emerging writer” that’s what I think of. Jim Carrey crawling out of a rhino’s butthole.
I’m sorry.
But really, it is so nice to see. I think a lot of new writers get to thinking they can’t or shouldn’t submit to these well-established prize winning magazines. I know I did when I first started submitting. They intimidated me.
So when they come right out and says, “No! Please, we want emerging (lol) writers!” I think that shows a lot of awareness and empathy. Those are the kind of editors I’d want reviewing my work. I don’t want to pretend that people can’t be full of shit. It always irks me a bit when lists like this claim there is some authority in random people on the internet saying something. But I am giving these magazines the benefit of the doubt. They are all excellent magazines which would be excellent publication credits for a new writer (or any writer, really). I’ve personally chatted with several of the editors from some of these and so far they are absolute gems of humans.
Okay, so today’s list has all the info. Where they are based, when they were founded, fees, payments, response times, descriptions, genres, and any rankings we have on them. I hope it helps. Here they are:
