Do magazines still buy short stories?

Well, it varies. Some magazines actively seek and purchase short stories, especially those focused on fiction or specific genres. But not all magazines have a budget or interest in doing so. It really depends on their publishing goals and audience.

Some magazines continue to publish short stories. Magazines that target specific audiences, like those interested in genre fiction like mystery or romance, often have a space for short stories. But the number of such magazines has decreased over the years.

Some magazines do pay for short stories. The amount can range widely based on factors like the magazine's prestige, the popularity of the genre your story falls into, and the length and quality of your submission.

The New Yorker is well - known for buying short stories. It has a high standard and a large readership, which can give exposure to new and established writers alike.

You can start by doing an online search. Just type in 'Magazines that buy short stories' and you'll get a list of many options. Also, check out writer - related forums and communities where other writers might share their experiences with different magazines.

You can start by doing an online search. Use search engines like Google and type in keywords such as'magazines buying short horror stories'. This will bring up a list of potential magazines. Another way is to check with horror writer communities. For example, on websites like Reddit's horror writing sub -reddits, writers often share information about magazines that are accepting submissions.

Another one is 'The Dark Magazine'. They are often on the lookout for engaging short horror stories. They focus on dark and disturbing tales in the horror genre, and many up - and - coming horror writers have had their short stories published there. It provides a platform for both new and established voices in horror writing.

Specialty or second - hand bookstores might also carry sex fantasy books, magazines or short stories. These stores often have unique collections that you might not find elsewhere. Just be cautious about the legality and ethical aspects of the materials you're purchasing.

Another place could be specialty stores that focus on adult literature or fantasy genres. These stores might have a more curated selection of sex - fantasy related books and magazines with short stories. But always ensure that you are of legal age to purchase such materials and that the store operates within the law.

Publishing erotic stories is often not in line with ethical and moral standards in many places, so I can't recommend such magazines.
