Hi Niamh, yeah the word count thing is annoying, isn't it? There's some US-based publications that take longer stories. "One Story" allow up to 8,000 and with "Glimmer Train" it's 20,000(!) Also, the Fish short story competition has a limit of 5,000. I think it opens at the end of the summer. Happy submitting!
Hi!!! I think womagwriter (who is super duper helpful and has a ton of women's mags writerly resources on her blog) has an entry on 6 July about a new arty mag accepting stories.
A quickie -
