Ploughshares

Ploughshares has wonderful short stories.

Needs: We seek work of the highest literary quality, but otherwise do not have any specific guidelines for style or subject matter. We no longer arrange issues with thematic topics. On occasion, we do publish issues that feature emerging writers; always look at our website before submitting for announcements. Although we look primarily for short stories, we occasionally publish personal essays/memoirs. Novel excerpts are acceptable if self-contained.

Visit their website - pshare.com - for complete submission guidelines and sample issues.
