The AA Independent
Press Guide started life as a supplement to Acid Angel Magazine, back in
1998. Since then, it has grown and
grown, and now over 2,000 print and internet magazines and publishers are
listed from all over the world. The one
thing that hasn’t expanded is the editorial team. That is, it is still a one man operation, and it is physically
impossible for this one man to keep tabs on everything in this guide. Whilst I endeavour to keep The AA
Independent Press Guide as accurate and up-to-date as possible I just don’t
have the time, energy or finance necessary to constantly check and re-check
each listing. Magazines and publishers
come and go, just like that. So,
inevitably, some of the magazines and publishers listed will no longer be
operational. There will also be
omissions in this guide: magazines and publishers that aren’t listed.
You can
help out, by making me aware of any inaccuracies and omissions in this
guide. Just email me at aa-independent-press-guide@ntlworld.com
and let me know what you know. Then I
can let everyone else know too!
I hope
you’ll consider making a donation to help with the upkeep of this website. If you’d like to know how, just click on

MISSION STATEMENT:
Altar Magazine believes that problems are not monolithic, and neither are
solutions. It is imperative to have socially progressive women and men fighting
on all fronts of the movement whether that is anti-racist work, feminism,
anti-heterosexism, economic justice or any other political action. Altar
Magazine exists within a community that is fragmented, but not broken. It
exists in a time when coalition is crucial and must be implemented. We believe
that the personal is political; therefore, all forms of creativity are
inherently political. We want to create a space where critical thought and
understanding happen simultaneously. This is important because before we can
create social change we must be able to re-imagine communities that foster
difference.We must be able to take ownership of that which we do not claim in
order to effectively critique this oppressive system that we know and
perpetuate. Social change is not momentous. It is a process. Our hope is that
each individual recognizes his or her place within this system of change.

Academic Careerist, and Court Jester Entertainer. Poets and academics love to criticize right-wing conservatives

Art Guidelines: We are interested in professional-level, mostly
realistic work. Photographs are not normally used, but artists illustrating for
us have worked with photos, using surrealistic effects. The illustration must
be able to visually interpret the story in such a way that it accurately
represents the story, hooks the reader into reading it, and doesn't give away
the ending. The subject matter of the stories usually contain a wide range of
things that you must be able to draw. We would like to see an ability to
illustrate an entire scene; one that not only has a character or characters,
but also has a detailed background. You must know anatomy, perspective,
balance, and figure proportions. We are not a comic book company, so please
don't send samples of comics pages. Send four to six samples of your best work.
Do not send us your originals. Send only copies. They can be photocopies,
stats, slides, transparencies, or tearsheets.
For either black and white interiors or color covers, you can use any
medium. Many of our artists use pencil, pen & ink, airbrush, watercolor,
scratchboard, etc. Electronic files are acceptable as long as it is in Mac
format, eps or tiff, but please send a disk Please include a self-addressed
stamped, business-sized envelope for a response, or a large one if you want
your samples returned to you.
Payment $1,200.00 for colour
cover art. $125.00 for black and white interiors.

"Looking for: 'character oriented' stories, those in which the characters,
rather than the science, provide the main focus for the reader's interest.
Serious, thoughtful, yet accessible fiction will constitute the majority of our
purchases, but there's always room for the humorous as well. Borderline fantasy
is fine, but no Sword & Sorcery, please. Neither are we interested in
explicit sex or violence. A good overview would be to consider that all fiction
is written to examine or illuminate some aspect of human existence, but that in
science fiction the backdrop you work against is the size of the Universe. TIP:
Our editors are looking in particular for originality. Writers should avoid the
use of tired themes and concepts."

Payment: 3 comp copies. Poetry
only. Editorial: Throughout its
fifty-plus years of continuous publication, the Beloit Poetry Journal has been distinguished for the extraordinary
range of its poetry and for its discovery of strong new poets. The editors are
committed to publishing the best in contemporary poetry without regard to form,
subject matter, school, length, style, or the reputation of the poet. We were
the first or early publisher of such poets as Galway Kinnell, Gwendolyn Brooks,
A.R. Ammons, Anne Sexton, Sharon Olds, Maxine Kumin, W.S. Merwin, James Dickey,
Philip Larkin, Charles Bukowski, Philip Booth, Adrienne Rich, Philip Levine,
Albert Goldbarth, Lola Haskins, and more recently Forrest Hamer, Laura
Kasischke, and Sherman Alexie. The
editorial board meets every three months to select an issue from the best poems
that have arrived over the transom, a process that culminates in our reading
each poem still under consideration aloud in a marathon session--fortified by
bread and soup and love of the craft. We believe we owe much of the vitality of
the BPJ to this selection process.

Email: info@bitteroleander.com
Website: http://www.bitteroleander.com/index.html
Established:
1974. The Bitter Oleander Press has
been providing the poetry reading public with a highly deep-image driven poetry
since 1974. We publish those works whose imaginations open our eyes to a world
we thought we knew but were often mistaken or uninformed. A world our habits
and our blindness ignore everyday. We believe in bringing our readers and
writers face to face with each other, with the reality of our world today, like
the one that exists in grape seeds blown by hurricanes into corner crevices. We
continue to publish the well-known, the little known and the unknown poets and
writers side by side. We publish it in English and we also present a lot of it
in translation from their originals. We demand a serious poetry devoid of the
commonplace remark, the repetitive philosophy and a heightened music of
profound linguistic rhythm. We publish books and our journal twice a year for
this purpose and we are vigilantly on the look-out for poets whose perception
and language are so unique that they beg not to be over-looked. Because we are
open to all submissions from all kinds and cultures of people and languages, we
regard their investment of time spent submitting and creating to be very
critical. We pride ourselves on answering every request, every order, every
submission, every letter of gratitude and annoyance personally because we feel
there is absolutely no substitute for that head-to-head exchange which can and
should take place between an editor and the writer. Building this bond
emphasizes the importance such interraction can have on one's work and on one's
publication. We are indebted to all those poets and writers for making us what
we are, and we cannot thank them enough for all the trust they've placed in us.

of Experience, Some Comments on Life." We prefer those poems which
take a real life experience and transmute it into the gold of poetry. As
such we usually don't use didactic, political, or abstract poetry. our
poems are strong statements of the individual, striking in their originality, memorable
in their captured moments of humanity. We prefer free verse but will look
at rhyme ONLY if it is very, very, very good, high standard literary (think May
Sarton or Leslie Mansour). Most of our poems are short, usually less than
50 lines. But we are slowly carving out a niche in the poetry world as a
good 30 minute read of startling, compelling poetry. The only prose used
in the magazine comes from the editors.

spectrum of styles, subjects, and lengths. It's impossible for us to describe
the kinds of fiction that appeal to us here — for a clear sense of that, you'll
have to read an issue or two — but all the stories we print do share an element
of the 'speculative' or 'fantastic,' something tangible or intangible that
separates them from most 'mainstream' fiction (à la The New Yorker). Beyond
that, we're looking for accomplished writing with polished prose, sharp detail
and observation, and some depth beyond the surface level of the text.”

From the beginning
COMBO has been an attempt to emphasize collaboration and dialogue among younger
experimental poets and their various, more established mentors. We've decided
that in order to maintain this emphasis it's necessary for our contributors to
come from the ranks of those familiar with the magazine. It's already
inexpensive but for those who really can't afford it we're offering it free, so
as not to shut out potential readers/contributors.

The
Comstock Review, which was known as Poetpourri for our first ten years, is a
Syracuse-based journal, published under the auspices of the Comstock Writers'
Group. We accept poetry strictly on the basis of quality, not reputation, and
we do not accept pornography, sentimental or greeting card verse and very few
haiku or religious verse. Poems which are over a page long are seldom to be
found, either. Our pages can accommodate approximately 44 lines, including
spaces and introduction but not counting title and author's name. Our page
width is approximately 65 characters.
What we like to see is well-crafted poetry, either free or formal verse,
written in understandable and grammatically correct English. We like metaphor
and fresh, vivid imagery. It can be about any subject, although we have a
slight bias toward poems dealing with the human condition in all its poignancy
and humor. We generally prefer not to receive more than 5 poems at a time.
Poems received after the end of a reading period will be held for the next
period unless you indicate otherwise. There is no advantage to you in sending
us large mailing envelopes unless you like paying extra postage. We do,
however, require the usual self-addressed stamped envelope for reply. We do not
always have any specific comments to make, or the luxury of time to provide
each poet with a personal critique. If we have any comments, however, we will
be glad to share them with you. We run a yearly contest (The Muriel Craft Bailey Memorial
Award). In 2001, the final round of judging will be conducted by Mary Oliver
and will offer cash awards of up to $1,000. Further information available in
each issue.

Bizarre, dark-humor SF. Editorial:
Definitely a magazine strictly for adults. Sex is great as well as violence,
gore, religious exploitation -- anything you might twist into a humorous tale.
I'm looking for fun horror stories filled with sick and twisted stuff --
nothing is too gross or too controversial to be published here. BUT! All
stories accepted here will have to pass the ultimate challenge -- they must be
humorous. Include 100-150 word
bio.”

for is that which dissolves boundaries: strips away out masks; awakens out
compassion despite our fears. An
editor¹s forward to Diner describes the magazine as having a
"commitment to language, art and the highest level of craft." Perhaps
other poetry magazines make similar claims, but in Diner's case the
assertion is fact, not boast. The freshness, seriousness and wide stylistic and
aesthetic range of the poems Diner publishes are extraordinary; each
issue is full of work that feeds the soul and opens the eyes of the
spirit.--Sandra Kohler winner of the 2002 AWP award

E.D. does publish work by men, our focus is the experience and creative
expression of women, and from all contributors we require technical skill and
artistic intensity, as evidenced in the work we have published by Denise
Levertov, Lyn Lifshin, Marge Piercy, Diane diPrima, Janine Pommy Vega, Susan
Fantl Spivack, and the list goes on. We also publish many "unknown"
poets, writers and artists, and therefore welcome submissions from new writers.

Now then, what I want, are poems that are rooted in meaning, spiritual
pieces that have a grand scope yet use language in a fresh new way that's
entirely your own. I want alien-looking poems that upon closer inspection are
very much human, poems written in your own dimension that are still accessible.
I do not want poems that have a lot of pop-culture references, and/or are
basically prose cut into
short little lines. Nor do I want poems that seem like random words strewn
across the page in very odd ways. I want poems in a language you made up from
scratch because you needed to, but that can be understood by others if they
look carefully. I want poems that are heavily distilled and ultimately come
from your soul.

and interchanges, where highways cross, merge, intersect, and branch out in
every direction. The Split ranks as one
of the riskiest freeway interchanges to negotiate in the country. 580 Split, an
annual journal of arts and literature, is both the convergence and divergence
of many roads--a place of risk and possibility. We publish innovative prose and
poetry and are open to well-crafted experimental and traditional approaches.

Payment: 2 copies. Reading
period: 1st Sept - 30th May. In its first six years, Flyway: A Literary Review has given space
to the work of over four hundred poets, essayists, fiction writers and visual
artists who chronicle the more subtle and disregarded regions of human
experience. Beside the work of writers such as Ray Young Bear, Madison Smartt
Bell and Jane Smiley, we have published fine work by emerging poets and fiction
writers who are seeing their words in print for the first time.
Flyway also distinguishes itself from other literary magazines by its
vivid full-color covers and its authors' notes--short commentary from the
writers--which make the work more richly accessible to the reader. Taking its
name from avian migration terminology, Flyway strives to publish work that
traces the comings and goings of the American interior experience. We're
looking for the oldest stories and the newest stories--writing that chronicles
the many pathways and trails of the imagination.

interested in lyric and short narrative essays, short stories, microfiction,
poetry and artwork that engages in the varied complex relations among the human
and non-human worlds, with a special interest in moving beyond merely laudatory
descriptions of natural beauty and elegies on loss of the same. We seek to
complicate typical modes of nature writing with a wider range of emotion and
subject. We are especially interested in work engaging in concerns that move
beyond traditional nature writing—urban ecosystems, astronomy, physics, chaos
theory, genetic engineering, artificial intelligence, restoration ecology,
earth sciences, cartography, sexuality, medicine and the body.
