New Letters is a literary journal associated with the University of Missouri-Kansas City that seeks "to discover, publish and promote the best and most exciting literary writing, wherever it might be found." They've recently won a National Magazine Award and have been reprinted frequently in the Best American series.

This is a paying market, and they accept submissions all year long.
