It's important to consider the following questions before submitting your work:
Does the magazine’s work appeal to you?
Is your work a good fit for the publication?
Will the editors find value in your contribution?

Once you've found a magazine that publishes the type of work you write, you should adhere to their guidelines.

Thrive to submit work that explores your creativity.
Avoid stereotypical characters and cliche plots.
Magazines are looking for originality and vivid imagery, not repetitive submissions.

This seems like a no-brainer, yet submissions often arrive with basic spelling and grammatical errors.
Read your work thoroughly and make sure it’s free of errors.

Literary magazine editors are often writers, too!
They can sympathize and fully comprehend the submission process.
