Hey, I just wanted to ask if anyone knew any good magazines that accepted submissions (preferably sci fi / fantasy). Its taken a while, but I'm finally getting up the courage to see if I'm actually any good haha (:

Go into Smith's newsagents and buy the magazines you would like to submit to. Study the magazine, count the number of photographs in each article, the number of words in each article, the style and topics covered. No magazine ever turned a good article away what ever the source.

I'd check the yearbook as a first option.

Dark Tales does a monthly short story contest but I'm not sure if it's more horror they're after rather than fantasy: http://darktales.co.uk/contest.php
