If you have poetry or other writing which has been previously published, but the readership was low or perhaps it was only in print and not online, you may want to submit it to literary magazines and journals that accept work as a reprint.

There are two lists below. The first is a detailed list of five lit mags that accept reprints. The second list is a longer list of over 200 markets that accept reprints and don’t charge fees. Some are paying, most are not. (Updated Sept. 2025).

Here are two other lists of reprints:

• Publishing and Other Forms of Insanity, updated March 2025: 185 Literary Magazines Accepting Reprints
• The Edge of Memory blog: 91 Literary Magazines Accepting Reprints (Updated for 2023)
