What's the difference between a short story magazine and a short story monthly magazine?
The difference between a short story magazine and a short story monthly magazine was their content, readership, and publication cycle. Short story magazines were usually targeted at a specific topic or reader group. They would select outstanding short stories and display them to attract the same or similar readers. The selected issue usually had a certain publication cycle. The specific publication date was uncertain, but there would be a regular publication plan. The monthly short story magazine was a fixed publication that would publish multiple short stories in a certain period (such as one or two months). The targeted readers were more specific. The monthly publication cycle was more fixed and the publication date was more fixed. In addition, there were differences in content between the short story magazine and the short story monthly magazine. The short story magazine might select some more classic and representative short stories to display, while the short story monthly magazine would focus on introducing current hot and popular short stories to attract a wider range of readers. Generally speaking, the short story magazine and the short story monthly magazine were both excellent literature carriers, but they were different in terms of content, readership, and publishing cycle.
