Here's a list of Literary Magazines from around the country.
Check out their writer's guidelines and send them something.
I know a few of the editors, and none of them are going to
knock on your door and ask for that award winning story.
And if one of them does, please let OWL know!
  
http://www.lsu.edu/thesouthernreview/
Begun in 1915 and located
on the campus of Southern Methodist University,
SWR is the third oldest,
continuously published literary quarterly in the United
States. We try to discover works by new writers and publish
them beside those of more established authors. Selections
from SWR have been reprinted in
volumes of Prize Stories: The O. Henry Prize Stories,
Best American Short Stories, Best American Essays,
Best American Poetry, New Stories from the South,
and elsewhere.
Alaska Quarterly Review
http://www.uaa.alaska.edu/aqr/
AQR is a
literary press devoted to contemporary literary art,
publishing fiction, short plays, poetry and literary
non-fiction in traditional & experimental styles. We
encourage new & emerging writers, while continuing to
publish award-winning poets & established writers.
Antioch Review
http://antiochcollege.org/antioch_review.html
The Antioch
Review, founded in 1941, is one of the oldest, continuously
publishing literary magazines in America. We publish
fiction, essays, and poetry from both emerging as well as
established authors. Authors published in our pages are

Pushcart Prizes.

Blackbird
http://www.blackbird.vcu.edu/v5n2/index.htm
Blackbird is an online journal of literature and the
arts.While it is true that excellence can be differently
defined and construed, our primary definition will be this:
Beyond simple obvious criteria such as “well written in a
variety of technical senses,” and “original in terms of
subject and style,” excellent writing challenges traditions
in profound ways, and is radical insofar as it is aware of
its own origins in tradition and seeks to expand the
boundaries of the realm of discourse of which it is a part.
The editors are committed to seeking out such writing and to
encouraging and challenging writers to produce it. 
Black
Warrior Review
http://bama.ua.edu/%7Ewriting/main_html/bwr.htm
Edited and managed entirely by
graduate students, the Black Warrior Review is a
nationally respected literary magazine that publishes the
best in contemporary fiction, poetry, and essays from both
established and emerging writers. Launched in 1974, the
BWR has published work from Pulitzer Prize and National
Book Award winners, and stories and poems that have appeared
in BWR have been reprinted in the Puschart Prize,
Best American Short Stories and Poems, and
New Stories from the South anthologies. Each issue
features a chapbook, a selection of poetry, from a
nationally known poet. MFA students may join the staff as
assistant editors upon their arrival in Tuscaloosa.
Unaffiliated with any
institution, Chelsea has been publishing new,
established, and soon-to-be-established voices in literature
since 1958. Our tastes are eclectic, lively, and
sophisticated, with an emphasis on translations, art, and
cross-cultural exchange. We publish two issues or one
double-issue per year.
We respond to submissions,
queries, or requests within 2-4 months. Written submissions
and queries only. No simultaneous submissions. No phone
calls, faxes, or emails.
Chicago Review
http://humanities.uchicago.edu/orgs/review/
The editors welcome submissions of unpublished poetry,
fiction, and book reviews. (Please query before sending
longer nonfiction.) We strongly recommend that authors
familiarize themselves with recent issues of Chicago Review
before submitting. Submissions that demonstrate familiarity
with the journal tend to receive more attention than those
that appear to be part of a carpet-bombing campaign.
Crazyhorse
http://crazyhorse.cofc.edu/
Crazyhorse
publishes fine prose, poetry, and essays. The editors are
especially interested in original writing that engages in
the work of honest communication. We always ask "What's at
stake in this writing?" "What's reckoned with that's
important for other people to read?"
Send your best words our
way. We read and choose writing democratically,
pluralistically, ecumenically; therefore, we like to print a
mix of writing regardless of its form, genre, school, or
politics. We publish newcomers and established writers
alike. We're especially on the lookout for writing
that doesn't fit the categories.
Crescent Review
http://www.crescentreview.org
The Crescent Review
is an internet review site that offers its perspective on
the latest releases of books, movies, stories and online
entertainment. It is run by volunteers, so feel
welcome to submit your own review on any book, film or
website.
Epoch
http://www.arts.cornell.ede/english/epoch.html
EPOCH was founded in 1947 by Baxter Hathaway, who had
been brought to Cornell the year before with a mandate to
establish a creative writing program at the University. The
magazine began as a literary quarterly staffed by Hathaway's
colleagues in the English department, and from the start the
editors proved to have a shrewd eye for talent—one story
from the initial volume of the magazine was reprinted in Best American Short Stories,
and all of the fiction from
the initial volume was cited in that anthology. In the 1950s
and 1960s, EPOCH brought to light the first published
fiction of Thomas Pynchon, Don DeLillo, and Stanley Elkin,
along with early stories by Philip Roth and Joyce Carol
Oates.
The magazine now appears three times a year in September,
January, and May. Recent work from EPOCH has
been reprinted in (and cited in) all of the major annual
anthologies: Best American Short Stories; Best
American Poetry; Best American Essays; The
Pushcart Prize: Best of the Small Presses; Prize Stories: The O. Henry Awards;
Editor's Choice
Awards; Best of the West; New Stories from the
South.
Fiddlehead
http://www.thefiddlehead.ca/
Canada's longest living literary journal, The Fiddlehead is published four times a year at the
University of New Brunswick, with the generous assistance of
the University of New Brunswick, The Canada Council for the
Arts, and the Province of New Brunswick.
First published in 1945, The Fiddlehead
is known as a WHO'S WHO in Can. Lit. Many - now
well-known - writers have found their first home in our
pages, and they, as well as some of our editors and
assistants, go on to win awards and prizes across the
country.
Do not look at this journal as old! It is
experienced; wise enough to recognize excellence; always
looking for freshness and surprise.
We publish short stories, poems, book
reviews, and a small number of personal essays.
Drunken Boat
http://www.drunkenboat.com
Drunken Boat has
offices in New York City and Chester, CT.
Drunkenboat is once again accepting unsolicited submissions, so have
at it, and with their fancy new
submissions manager, they say they hope they can get back to you
sooner.
