UK MAGAZINES
The AA Independent
Press Guide started life as a supplement to Acid Angel Magazine, back in
1998. Since then, it has grown and
grown, and now over 2,000 print and internet magazines and publishers are
listed from all over the world. The one
thing that hasn’t expanded is the editorial team. That is, it is still a one-man operation, and it is physically
impossible for this one man to keep tabs on everything in this guide. Whilst I endeavour to keep The AA
Independent Press Guide as accurate and up-to-date as possible I just don’t
have the time, energy or finance necessary to constantly check and re-check
each listing. Magazines and publishers
come and go, just like that. So,
inevitably, some of the magazines and publishers listed here will no longer be
operational. There will also be
omissions in this guide: magazines and publishers that aren’t listed. You can help out, by making me aware of any
inaccuracies and omissions in this guide.
Just email me at dee@thunderburst.co.uk and let
me know what you know. Then I can let
everyone else know too!
The listings that
are highlighted in yellow
refer to magazines that will accept electronic submissions, but be aware that
there are usually stipulations attached.
Where magazines or publishers are noted in red as folded I have been informed of such by a reliable
source. Where I have stated they are probably folded it is where their noted email and
website addresses are defunct or broken and I have not been able to track them
down (if you know otherwise, please do let me know).
Please
note - donations
towards the upkeep and maintenance of this website are welcomed. If you value the services offered here
please make a donation and help to keep these resources
available for everyone.

Editorial: This
is a lo-fi poetry zine make no mistake, that’s why its cheap and occasionally
cheerful. Inside there's pictures too, and poems from about 22 contributors.
It's a totally subjective choice. I like stuff that makes me feel a feeling
usually. Comprehensible to all folk is useful too, but if not, if you must be
obscure, then be beautiful. Often I am taken with a
seemingly simple poem, with one entirely original or unlikely feature, be it
its subject, turn of phrase, or form. NB: stories and poems to be no longer than a page.

only magazine devoted to the art of oral storytelling. In fact there might not
be another independent magazine of the ilk anywhere in the world - only
newsletters of storytelling societies. F&F aims, over a period of time, to
cover every aspect of storytelling from therapy to education through
reminiscence, with both adults and children, but the main thrust is always
traditional storytelling as entertainment for adults. It also covers related
art forms and where storytelling overlaps into them. It features articles about
storytelling, reviews, news, letters, sometimes poems and drawings, and of
course stories.

Inside
Out aims to promote the use of creativity for personal development. A new breed
of lifestyle magazine, it encourages the submission and publication of work
with a focus on self-awareness and self-help — because sometimes, simply owning
something on the page is all it takes to move past it and move on, for both
reader and writer. Turn the inside out — onto the page, into the world, and out
of your system.

INTERLUDE MAGAZINE
Limehouse Town Hall, 646 Commercial Road, London, E14 7HA
Email: submissions@interludemagazine.co.uk
accepts email submissions
Website: http://www.interludemagazine.co.uk/
(see website for submission criteria)
The genesis of Interlude
lies in the need to “shelter” ideas and samples of one’s artistic and personal
research: work still in progress, or too fragile to let stand on its own,
roaming ideas, or formed projects which stand lonesome, finding it difficult to
fit within their fellows. These scraps of work need a home and a magazine could
be the suitable place for them to be welcomed and take physical shape. A
magazine could also act as a melting pot where ideas could be stirred up,
exhaling new inspiration. Interlude is not a strictly
political, social, literary or artistic magazine – any intelligent and
interesting contributions are welcomed. However, the magazine is not intended
to be a mere showcase for artists’ work – pieces should match the spirit of the
magazine. We feel that it is not fair to grab stuff and just throw it on a page
for the sake of having it displayed - ideas need a “cosy” environment. We think
that the page and the work on it should live together in a sort of symbiosis:
the page emphasising the work rather than distracting from it. We value the
principle of simplicity when creating a page, where the design is motivated by
the content.

established or beginning writers' poems that surprise and delight. Favours work
that may be unsure of itself but is willing to explore untried directions.
Predictability, dogma and wordiness will almost always be rejected. Doesn't want safe predictable poems you know you
can write about what you know. Wants poems that go to the high wire across the
abyss. Don't walk it, dance it. Risk the fall. Test the boundaries. If you
crash, crash with panache. Your poem may look safe, may start safe but take
off. I hope it does. I love to see poets flying.

each new issue. Founded as a poetry magazine for the southern counties of
England, it now reaches many parts of the world. Please note that submission
