as an aspiring writer i've gotten the advice frequently to connect with/submit to mags, chap books, zines, journals etc that i like and that fit with my work, and i see you've mentioned similar advice for a previous anon. i'm wondering if you have any advice for *finding* those kinds of mags etc? i feel a little bit at a loss when it comes to even finding those kinds of publications out there.

thanks for your time and congrats on the book!

thanks for writing! here's a list of posts I've made / asks I've answered in the past on this topic!

where/how to get feedback

ChillSubs and Heavy Feather Review are two great places to check out who's open for submissions. I also highly recommend at least getting a dummy twitter account and following some magazines on there, as it's still a great way to find opportunities.
