Almost Saturday Night: Like Bulldog Drummond because I've been searching

Welcome to Saturday morning.

 Up at five, broke training by breakfasting on a slice of apple pie. I read "Siege of Leningrad" by Julian Robles

For the fans: Dylanesque: songs inspired by the music of Bob Dylan – Young, CSNY, and Coxon 

Listened to KDHX's Greaser's Lunchbox

 Searching for publishers:

Jenny A Production of the YSU Student Literary Arts Association - nothing open, no pay. It has its current issue online, the theme is the supernatural. The samples look interesting, but now is not the time to be distracted.

The Belt is only non-fiction, but it is Midwest-centric. I never heard back on my query about a Raintree County essay, so I could do that, but not now.

BoomerLitMag  - no pay. I look at Gravity: A Meditation by Alexis Levitin, impressed and a little intimidated. Call it flash, but it works better for me than most flash fiction.

Extinction Rebellion Creative Hub - prose concerned with the climate emergency, the current crisis and possible aftermaths. Well, I have nothing that fits there.

AZURE: A Journal of Literary Thought: not seeing they pay, but they do have a contest.

 We love work that is linguistically, intellectually, and emotionally demanding of the reader.  We want literary fiction that grows in complexity upon each visitation; we enjoy ornate, cerebral, and voluptuous prose executed with thematic intent. Writers we admire are Virginia Woolf, Toni Morrison, Jorge Luis Borges, Charles Dickens, Gabriel Garcia Marquez, Thomas Mann, Marcel Proust, Robert Musil, T.S. Eliot, Elizabeth Barrett Browning, John Milton, Aphra Behn, Herman Melville, and Italo Calvino.

I read Wendy Webb'  The Laconia, surreal and well-written. Nothing I have on tap would work.

Heimat Review  - no pay, I can see; submissions open August 15. I look at Night Swimmer by Elizabeth Obermeyer, and I like what I see. The only thing I could possibly submit is "The Dilemma of Basketball."

Carve pays but also charges a reading fee of $3. Right now, that is about a sixth of cash on hand.

• Carve seeks good honest fiction in the form of short stories.
• We want emotional jeopardy, soul, and honesty.
• Craft and control are tantamount to our connection to the characters.
• We highly recommend reading recent stories to get an idea of what we’re looking for.
• Word count limit is 10,000.

Maybe, maybe not.

Call Me [Brackets], is a college publication, no pay, no reading fee, reading period closed.   

Call Me [Brackets] is a literary journal founded by the students of “Literary Editing and Publishing” (English 307/408). The journal is dedicated to the surprising, the odd, the experimental and everything in-between. We publish twice a year—online in the fall, print in the spring—each issue with a different theme (our first four issues are here). We accept poetry and prose from new and established writers outside the University of Alabama, and visual art from everyone (see here for guidelines).

Archetype looks interesting but does not pay.

lavender bones magazine does not pay and is closed for submissions, but:

a literary magazine devoted to exploring life, death, change, and all the details in between.

 Leavings does not, but does take stories that are under 12,000 words. 

I have Submission Grinder and New Pages open and will go after them when I return from McClure's.

As for Bulldog Drummond:
