Send Us Your Writing and We’ll Tell You Where to Submit

Introducing: Custom lists handpicked for you (yes you) and your writing

---

Researching the right lit mag for your work can be exhausting (not to mention confusing). All together, there are over 3,000 literary magazines, each with its own guidelines, tastes, and reading periods. It’s… a lot.

Not knowing how, when, or where to submit is one of the biggest headaches for any writer. With that in mind, we’re bringing over our Custom Lists service from Chill Subs and sharing it with our Sub Club fam.

We’ve partnered with experienced literary editors Steve Chang and Autumn Watts to read your work, research and vet magazines that fit, and send you a list with everything you need to know to submit to them. Here’s how it works:

1. You send us your writing and preferences.

2. Our editors read it and select the magazines.

3. We send a comprehensive list back to you within three weeks.

See an example here.

To make sure we keep the quality up to snuff, we’re capping this service to 150 lists for this run. You can learn more about our process here and request yours here:

Fun fact: Our Custom Lists service was originally created out of our Submitter’s Club membership, so we’ve been doing it for a little over two years now. Here’s what folks have had to say:

“The list-making service is an invaluable tool for finding the right lit mags/journals to submit my work to. As a poet with a non-literary day job, it’s hard enough to find time to write, much less find time to read lit mags to know which ones match my aesthetic.” — Will F.

“Your expertise has been generous, deeply insightful, and always on point. I have learned more from you than from any other service (and I’ve tried a bunch). Please keep up the great work and keep it accessible to a wide range of writers.” — Paula M.

“Truly amazing! I’m new-ish to submitting my work (less than five years), and I felt overwhelmed sorting through all the lit mags—what they were looking for, deadlines, vibes, how and when to submit. And then along came you. You saved me countless hours of often dead-end research that I’d rather spend writing. Thank you!” — Ellen B.

And here is a breakdown of the pricing:

• List of 10 magazines: $50 for Chill Subs Members and $75 for non-members

• List of 20 magazines: $100 for Chill Subs Members and $150 for non-members

Yup, if you are a Chill Subs “Better” or “Best” member, these lists are 33% cheaper. If you haven’t upgraded yet, you can do that below. ↓

Psst, our “Best” membership on Chill Subs also comes with comped access to Sub Club.

Thank all of you, as always. We hope to grow this service further in the future with your support.
