It certainly sounds perfect for this site to start with. I'm still too new here to tell you how to post it. Welcome to SheWrites! I'm sure someone will help you out soon.

Looking forward to reading it.

Sorry, I should mention that it is on the subject of literacy and women through literature.
Comment by Bonnie L Cochran-Painter on July 7, 2010 at 1:53pm
It's double-spaced. it's actually 3,044 words, so a little over your 2000. A literary journal is what I would imagine would fit, but I would love to get opinions. Could I post as a .pdf?

Bonnie L C-P,
11 pages is rather long. Do you have a website you could post it on and link to? I'm no expert in the area of publishing, but to me, an essay is usually pretty short...somewhere between 400 and 2000 words. Even a magazine article is usually much shorter than 11 pages.

What is the subject matter? Could it be published in something that deals with the topic specifically?

Anyone else got advice here?

I have a question, what is considered a short essay? My professor recommended that I have my midterm published. I would love to get feedback from this forum, mainly, is it good enough for publication and ideas for where to get it published. Is 11 pages too long to post here?

Thank you Tracy and Catherine! I have mostly submitted to magazines or e-zines.
I appreciate the links you've provided and the help you've offered.

For those wondering about where to send their essays, here's info on a free downloadable resource on paying essay markets: http://brevity.wordpress.com/2010/07/02/paying-essay-markets-free-e...

For a good list of small magazines that also publish essays (and usually don't pay), check out the sidebar at "Essay Daily": http://essaydaily.blogspot.com/

Hi Amy-Where have you been trying to get publised. Have you tried calls for anthologies? I've had some luck with that market.
