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.
Please note that these listings are no longer provided for FREE. It is requested that you make a donation
towards the upkeep of the website and for the time and energy that I have to
put into maintaining, updating and developing all the resources on this
website. If sufficient donations are
not forthcoming I will have no other choice but to pull the plug and go get a
"real" job. So, for your own
sake, and for the sake of other writers, make a donation
and help to keep these resources
available for everyone. If you aren't
willing to help out then the chances are, next time you come here all you will
get is an "Error 403" message.

Editorial: We were established to provide a venue for writers residing in or
writing about Central and Eastern Europe. We are currently expanding that
mandate to include all of Europe. We publish fiction, poetry, and narrative
non-fiction, as well as the occasional short play. We are very interested in
translation. We are not currently interested in genre fiction, straight
journalism, or anything that would be better served by a newspaper or trade
journal. But if it's creative in any way, it's always worth giving us a shot.
We've published quite a few Hungarian writers--from the previously unpublished,
to first English-language publications, to translations of well-known writers
such as Gyorgy Faludy and Imre Kertesz. We've also published writing from Sweden,
Kosovo, the UK and the US.INDIA
