lots of patience and a thick skin for rejections. reading magazines in your genre also is big not only for getting published but for writing! some random examples: sci-fi: clarkesworld, lightspeed modernism: vol. 1 brooklyn, minor literature[s] horror: the dark, not one of us traditional: missouri review, doric literary

it’s all for short stories! at least in contemporary short stories are the way to get people reading you and some pubs under your belt. in a more trope heavy version of the genre Micromance is a good fit. Joyland and Forever Mag bridge a gap between urban semi-transgressive romance magazines like Volume 0. HAD is a good magazine for first person and short things, but they have a very particular style.
