When I visited England recently, I found out about (OK, became addiccted to) the woman's weeklies. There are scads of weekly woman's magazines, such as "Woman's Weekly," "Take a Break," and "Chat." Many (most?) of them publish short stories -- I think one or two per issue. On top of that, there are monthly story magazines, such as The People's Friend (I think that's the title) and the Fiction Special magazines put out by the weeklies -- I think the one I bought was a Take a Break Fiction Special.
Are these magazines open to stories from U.S. writers? And if so, are they open to stories about the U.S.? I've heard that some overseas magazines like getting submissions from the U.S. because the settings were exotic to their reader. And I did see a story set in Texas in one of the magazines I read, although I wasn't sure if the author was actually from England or from Texas.
Does anyone know how to go about submitting to these magazines? I'm also looking for a way to subscribe to the one I liked the most (the fiction magazine) without spending a lot of quid.
