BH had her first short story accepted for Belgravia (formerly edited by Mary Elizabeth Braddon ) after Blackwood's Edinburgh Magazine had declined it. She went on to publish other contributions to Blackwood's; even by the time she first met Eliza Lynn Linton she was able to show her one or two little sketches which had appeared in magazines. Linton read them, kissed her, and proceeded to give her protection for her entrance into London literary society. She remained supportive and affectionately appreciative of Harraden for the rest of her life.

Eliza Lynn , later Linton, first reached print with a poem entitled The National Convention of the Gods, for which she received two guineas in payment from Ainsworth's Magazine.

In 1855 she probably published in The Biographical Magazine the life of Felicité de Lammenais , excommunicated French priest, literary critic, and translator, whom she met while studying at the Sorbonne . The article appeared with the initials G de F. She also published other pieces in this magazine, including Alphonse de Lamartine, which had appeared the previous year.

In 1942 she was spent some months writing reviews for the Chicago Sun, recrafting her style from the formal to the more playful, and forming a solid determination to become a writer. Two years later she worked at a couple of journalistic pieces which proved abortive.

The University Magazine carried AMFR 's verse translations of Aristophanes and Euripides under the titles An Address to the Nightingale and The Sickness of Phaedra.

Probably many of AL 's short works, published in journals (like the St. Stephen's Review) and either unsigned or under various pseudonyms, remain untraced.

A poem by EN entitled A Year Ago appeared in Good Words; it is her earliest work in print that biographer Julia Briggs has been able to track down.
