Short Stories: You Magazine (SA)

A couple of members on the Facebook Group - Bring back fiction to women's magazines - have been mentioning success with the South African magazine, 'You'. So I thought I'd investigate this as a possible market for short story writers.

They do have a website, with full guidelines for submitting stories. Obviously, it's always better to read a few stories from any magazine to get a feel for the type and tone of story they prefer. Since this is more difficult with a country so far away, the guidelines are the next best thing. They seem to favour contemporary stories, although they mention they would like to see more detective/crime stories.

Full up-to-date submission details are on the You website. Please note their format - no indents.

Good luck!
