**Important update: Due to a problem with Submittable, we ask that you please email your work to [email protected]. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience, and appreciate your patience!
Submission Guidelines:
– Please submit a maximum of 6 pages in a Word doc file. If you have a specific vision in terms of layout, please include a PDF as a layout guide.
– Include a one-paragraph description of your project and a 50-word biography with your submission. Writers from historically marginalized groups may choose to self-identify in their biography and/or project description, although this is always optional.
– For pitches: Please describe your proposed interview/review/critical text in a single paragraph within a Word doc, with links to any contextual images/information as necessary. Please also include 1-2 writing samples of relevant work.
Submission to our open reading period is free. Accepted submissions of poetry and prose will be compensated at a rate of $60 CAD per page upon publication. Flat rate fees for commissioned interviews and critical texts range from $200–$500 CAD depending on length and scope and will be discussed upon acceptance of a pitch.
Submit your work by emailing [email protected] before midnight on September 30th. We look forward to reading your work!
