Literary magazines with one week's response time

By Sandeep Kumar Mishra

This is a list of 36 literary magazines/journals that have a response time of less than a week after receiving submissions. These are based on my own experience as a writer. They range from literary fiction to non-fiction and include science fiction and fantasy, popular non-fiction, politics, flash fiction, reviews, humour, social issues, the economy, lifestyle, horror, artwork and much more. All of them will usually respond within a week, although they may occasionally take a little longer at certain times of year.
