The Offing. Full disclosure: I was published here several years ago. It was one of those "discover a great place, see a category that seems to fit your writing, submit a piece you've just finished, get an acceptance less than 3 months later" experiences. Hell froze over for a minute! I like pretty much everything about this magazine. They're clear about what they want and I don't get any feeling of it being a secret club they're not sure they want me in, which is one of my biggest pet peeves about some places! I especially love the Cross Genre section with all of its categories. I like writing to some kind of constraint, whether it's length or category or theme. It's obvious to me they take great care with their work, and even the rejections I've gotten from them have been super kind.
