An interesting mix in this one, but the general idea is print publications that will take more than one form, so fiction, non-fiction, poetry, etc. A lot of more general literary journals, less genre-specialists in this one. There's one horror magazine that I noticed. Some with other focusses like feminist writing or specific styles (one specializing in tanka, for instance).

One that I think is kind of cool is The First Line, described as follows:

"This quarterly journal accepts fiction of 300-5,000 words that begins with a pre-set first line; 500-800 word critical essays about your favorite first line from a literary work; as well as some poetry. For their next submission period, the line for fiction is: ‘When she was eight, Alice Henderson briefly held the world record for filling her mouth with marbles.’ (Deadline 1 August 2024)."

Neat concept for a journal, eh? We've had the odd challenge here like that.
