The Missing Link Journal
http://www.missinglinkjournal.com/

I came across the Missing Link Journal while searching through Craigslist looking for some writing opportunities. They had not yet published their first issue, but they put out a call for submissions. I didn't want to speak about them until after their first issue came out. And well...it's out :) I also submitted some of my own poetry to them and was duly rejected :( But for those of you that clock such things, the time from submission to rejection was about 3 months, but that was for the first issue.

Anywho

Missing Link Journal is a journal dedicated to providing its readers with diverse non-fiction, fiction, poetry, graphic essays, artwork and photography. Our goal is to highlight beautiful and honest art, writing and photography that describes our connections to each other and the natural world.

As you can see, Missing Link buys fiction, poetry and various types of artwork. They look at flash fiction too. They pay somewhere between $25 and $50 for a piece. They accept submissions through submishmash like a lot of other publications these days. To fully understand their guidelines you should check both their submission guidelines page here: http://www.missinglinkjournal.com/submissions.html and the separate guidelines on their submishmash page here: http://themissinglinkjournal.submishmash.com/submit

The journal is electronic at the moment, but I do believe they plan on having print issues at some point in the future.

As they are only one issue in, I don't think they really have everything quite the way they would like on the website, but please do look around. There are no samples but the site itself states what they are looking for and there are a few links to check out more from some of the first issues contributors.

Correction, if you check the individual purchase page for the first issue here you can actually view the first 20% of the journal, which is about 11 pages :)

They are currently taking submission for the second issue.

They haven't set up a Twitter or Facebook Page as of yet. But I'll update this posting as things change. On a side note, I do believe the main editor is a chef :)

If you want to purchase the first issue of the Missing Link Journal, you can find it here for $1.99 in every available e-format.

Ruminate Magazine - Chewing on Life, Faith and Art
http://www.ruminatemagazine.org/ 

Ruminate is a Christian, themed (and Christian themed) magazine.

ru'mi-nate: to chew the cud; to muse; to meditate; to think again; to ponder

RUMINATE is a quarterly magazine of short stories, poetry, creative nonfiction, and visual art that resonate with the complexity and truth of the Christian faith. Each issue is a themed forum for literature and art that speaks to the existence of our daily lives while nudging us toward a greater hope.

But don't let the Christian spiritual overtones throw you. It's always best to remember that some of the most beautiful works of art grow from a seed of pure faith :) Besides...

RUMINATE publishes work with both subtle and overt associations to the Christian faith as well as work that has no direct association.

Ruminate publishes fiction, creative non-fiction, interviews, poetry, art and book reviews. As mentioned above, Ruminate publishes themed issues, so be sure to check the guidelines to make sure you're submitting the right type of work!

They accept submissions through an online submission form and pay $5 per page or in contributor copies.


Full Submission Guidelines are here:
http://www.ruminatemagazine.org/submissions/submission-guidelines.html

Sample Work can be found in the list of back issues:

Dreams & Nightmares - Poetry - Flash Fiction - Artwork

Dreams and Nightmares
http://dreamsandnightmaresmagazine.com/

My kind of publication! Dreams and Nightmares (DN) publishes mostly poetry of the speculative type (fantasy and science fiction).

Welcome to the website for Dreams and Nightmares magazine. DN is a print magazine of science fiction and fantasy poetry. DN was founded in January of 1986.

The magazine accepts poetry and short (flash) fiction as well as some artwork. Of course the editor/publisher prefers email submissions :) I do believe he will pay by paypal as well if requested. Also, this happens to be one of those glorious "pays on acceptance" markets (as opposed to "pays on publication")
http://dreamsandnightmaresmagazine.com/guidelines.htm

Poetry & Fiction
Maximum length for poetry or fiction is 2 single-spaced typed pages, but I prefer less than one page. I prefer e-submissions in the body of the message.
I print 15-20 poems per issue. Buying 1st N.Am. serial rights unless state otherwise. Payment is $12 on acceptance + 2 contributor's copies.
Fewer than 5% of submissions are accepted. Response time is commonly 4-8 weeks.

Artwork
Artwork should be line drawings; no half-tones. Good photocopies OK, but I prefer to receive JPEG's as e-mail attachments. Art should be no larger than 4 1/2 by 7 1/2 inches, but I can reduce it. Payment $12 on acceptance plus 2 copies.

For samples of artwork, the site has a gallery section with covers from back issues: http://dreamsandnightmaresmagazine.com/gallery.htm
