Market - AGNI Magazine - Fiction, Essays, Poetry


Click image for AGNI's submissions guidelines.


AGNI Magazine
is reading new submissions through May 31, 2008. They've been around since 1972 and they're currently published by Boston University.

I mention this because they have a stated interest in publishing both new and established writers, and they actually pay for the privilege whether your work appears in the print edition or the online edition.

I love literary magazines that offer a sampling of their material online, which AGNI does, quite generously.

All publications urge us to read and learn what type of work they're looking for. But honestly, tracking down print copies in libraries or waiting for a sample copy to arrive in the mail is time consuming and expensive.

They're looking for fiction, essays, poetry, reviews and interviews.

" Literature for literature’s sake is not what AGNI is about. Rather, we see literature and the arts as part of a broad, ongoing cultural conversation that every society needs to remain vibrant and alive. What we print requires concentration and takes some time to digest, but it’s worth that time and effort: writers and artists hold a mirror up to nature, mankind, the world; they courageously reflect their age, for better or worse; and their best works provoke perceptions and thoughts that help us understand and respond to our age."
