Shameless plug-- I'm on the staff of a smaller lit mag, Body Without Organs Journal, that is absolutely fantastic. If you want to submit to smaller lit mags, BWO is a great one! I also do Scholastic every year-- NewPages is a great source to find lit mags too
I actually have a Google keep document full of magazines and competitions that are worth it. I'm updating it constantly. Some mags I've submitted to that actually liked me are the Bookends Review, Teen Ink, the Telling Room, and Alexandria Quarterly
Also, a tip when submitting - submit to multiple publications for each piece, and submit to places you don't think you're good enough for. You'll get tons of rejections, but you only need one acceptance. And that one acceptance makes all the difference..

Ooh, thank you! Smaller publications always have the best character. I'll have to check it out.
@Megan Romero Definitely! I love smaller lit mags. Blue Marble Review and Foliate Oak are also great-- I'll have to think of some other ones too
@Cate Pitterle I LOVE Blue Marble Review. I had a piece published there recently. The pay certainly doesn't hurt.
