Every Writer's Resource is, as the name states, a nice writer's resource with links to many literary magazines, markets, publishing articles etc.

If, for some reason, you don't know what a literary magazine is: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Literary_magazine

The reason why I'm posting about this list is because each entry in the list also contains a link to the submission guidelines for that particular zine. They indicate with bold if the the magazine accepts email submissions (my favorite type!) - Well, to be fair, outside of the list itself, the site is a rather nice one. I highly suggest exploring it.

I'm going to list the first, top 10. You can follow the link to see the rest.
