Which magazines do Fictional Short Stories?

[Truro]

One of my hobbies writing short stories. I'm hoping to submit some, in the hope of getting them published and earning extra cash but I need to know which magazines accept short fiction from freelancer writers. I know People's Friend do, but I'm interested in know about any others.

Head for the Reference Library and get their copy of the Writers And Artists Yearbook which will list all magazines and their acceptance conditions - make a list, and away you go.

If you have plenty of time - you can approach the Willings Press Guide (UK) which is a massive tome covering alll UK publications - and the International one does the same worldwide, it takes time, but the more outlets you can hit, the greater chance of success.

Good luck.

Good luck.

these are extremely tough times for magazines and freelance budgets are pretty low. You probably shouldn't get your hopes up too high right now (but good luck anyway).
