Sally Port Magazine? What’s that? For that matter, what’s a Sally Port in the first place?
Last question first: A Sally Port is a door. In the days of stone walled castles, it was a human sized door that allowed people to enter or exit without lowering a drawbridge or opening a main gate. Since then, the term’s been used for other kinds of doors as well. But, the purpose remains the same.
A Sally Port is a door, a way to get to where you want to be. It grants access to opportunities.
Sally Port Magazine isn’t a literal door, but it grants access. We’re an independent fantasy fiction magazine, open to anyone of any age. Great stories and solid writing are what we publish. We’re offering stories for mid-grade, YA, New Adult, and general fantasy audiences and non-fiction about adventures in writing, writing how-to, and the writer/editor/publishing life.

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.
