At the Jewish Fiction Writers’ Conference held at the 92nd Street Y last weekend, I shared a handout with detailed profiles of a number of publications that will consider short stories on Jewish themes or subjects. I can’t replicate the handout in its entirety here, but I can share with you the 11 publications whose editors supplied me with information and confirmed their interest in such work.

NB: Magazines/journals that did not respond to my questionnaire include Guilt & Pleasure, Heeb, Jewish Currents, Midstream, and Mishpacha.And of course, please do remember that stories with “Jewish” content can certainly find homes in “secular” publications.
