ALT A row of neapolitan ice cream painted Georgian houses in a single line.

ALT 6 Lit mags you gotta submit to this week (& why) Pleiades Magazine An 80s mag that continues to stay relevant. They have a great book review as well as a print and online presence, and their acceptance rate is very much in the sweet spot. The London Magazine A literary magazine older than my grandpa, but one that’s pretty much cemented its place in the lit mag world. The Literary Fantasy Magazine A mag that’s new to me but has been around for a couple years. They want stories that challenge convictions and paint new horizons. A Public Space I’ve met some of the folks behind A Public Space and this lit mag and press has a great, genuine team behind it. VOLTA A fairly new lit mag that has a great name (I’m a sucker for all-caps names), they want work that’s imagistically vibrant and emotionally raw and ambitious. ONLY POEMS In preparation and celebration for this not-a-real-holiday-but-what-the-heck, the Poem of the Month theme is all about dads. So, um, send your daddy poems.
