Welcome to ByLine Magazine
ByLine is a monthly magazine for writers. Since its founding in 1981, ByLine has published — and paid for — the first work of hundreds of poets and writers of fiction and nonfiction. We encourage and advise novice writers; we publish the work of beginners and veterans alike.
The magazine presents articles on the craft or business of writing, including regular columns on writing poetry, fiction, nonfiction and children's literature. We also publish short stories and poetry.
ByLine sponsors monthly contests designed to motivate writers by providing deadlines, competition and cash prizes. These contests are open to anyone. For details about our contests, click the Contest Info button at left.
