It’s nearly September… lit mag submission deadlines are coming!

Tomorrow will see us reach September (I swear it was Christmas basically last week) and that means dozens of lit mags will be opening and closing their submission pages.

We shared a whopping 62 lit mags that will close to submissions in September. A bunch of them close tomorrow, so it’s the perfect time to send in your writing if you’re ready and waiting to get published!
