Not Everyone Loves Flash

I've noticed in my reading through literary magazines that the car-exploding, building-collapsing video game, punch-the-remote mindset doesn't apply to most of the fiction and creative nonfiction published.

Five thousand words? No problem. Write 'til you're finished.

There are not many electronic markets for longer works on the Internet, but there are several sources for writer's who need more room for their stories.

• NewPages.com lists Literary Magazines here, nearly 600 of them.
• Poets & Writers Magazine has a searchable database here.
• The Council of Literary Magazines and Presses keeps a registry of its members, complete with URLs.
• Creighton University has a list of Literary Magazines in "Nebraska and beyond."
• Open Directory has a specific list for writers in Canada.
• Canadian Literature, A Quarterly of Criticism and Review, also maintains a list.
• Lollipop's List of Little Press Publications covers the United Kingdom.
• OzLit provides information about literary publications Down Under.
