About

11 members set this magazine as a Favorite.

Rural Fiction Magazine was established to explore the beauty and drama of rural life around the world. Rural Fiction Magazine seeks primarily mainstream/literary stories and poetry set in the rural US or rural areas around the globe, although we may take occasional forays into other genres. All works we publish will be related in some fashion to rural areas.

Before Submitting

We cannot guarantee that the information on this page is correct. It is not unusual for publications to evolve or close without notice. We do our best to keep up, but it isn't always possible. Duotrope listings do not imply endorsement or recommendation of the project being listed. Before submitting, you should use your own judgment to determine whether the project meets your standards.

  • Always read the full guidelines provided by the publisher.
  • Try to read at least one previous publication to get a better idea of what the editor would like to see.
  • Unless the publisher's guidelines state otherwise, always use industry standard manuscript formatting.
  • Be professional, patient, and persistent.
