I frequently receive e-mails from people looking for places to publish their personal essays.

It's always hard to build this list, but we looked about close to 20 data points in coming up with this list.

There’s been plenty written on the web, including this blog, about websites like Associated Content and Demand Media.

Guest blogging is pretty easy and most articles only need to be between 500-600 words.

Not so long ago, I despaired at the idea of finding a place to publish my own fiction. Like many aspiring writers, I flipped through Writer's Market and sent stuff out to the supposed top of the short story food chain, The New Yorker, The Paris Review, Granta, etc., with predictable results (that is, rejection). But then why should I have been surprised? I didn't generally like the stories published in those magazines (they are usually, shall we say, boring).

Even if I was writing the best possible stories I could in the style I liked (and I definitely wasn't) I probably wouldn't have been published in those venues. With this in mind, I set out to find short story publications that I could actually read regularly and enjoy. This is the list I've come up with (so far) in alphabetical order, though I more than welcome recommendations: A Fly in Edited by Shelley Jackson, who is an excellent writer in her own right.
