    A friend has sent me on a mission: I'm looking for magazines - print or online - that accept story submissions in the 5000 word and beyond range.

    I know that Juked is a fit.

    Any other ideas?

    The Sun, Glimmer Train, Bellevue Literary Review (up to 5k). I'd filter using duotrope (short story) and then themes/genre. Peace...

    I found a couple of other venues through Duotrope - Midwest Literary Magazine & Solander.

    As this is my preferred range in which to work, I have some places to share: One Story, Up the Staircase, Prick of the Spindle, The Long Story (just took a 8000 wd story of mine, yay!), American Short Fiction, StoryQuarterly. And really, many of the print mags out of universities take 5000+ submissions. I think many online places shy away from them for formatting concerns.

    Sam:

    I look at stories of that length over at Burnt Bridge (no promises). Also, send to Subtropics at the U of Florida. They publish lengths up to novella and they pay 1000 dollars for prose. It's worth a shot.

    Checked-out Ploughshares in the interim and it has no length limit ( in theory: Probably not War and Peace or anything by Vollmann, but within reason.)
