Tips From the Editor
We read submissions from Canadian writers from January 1 to June 30. Because we receive so many submissions, we accept work from international (including United States) writers only during the months of January and May.
Literary magazines are time-intensive operations often run by or with the assistance of volunteers. Please help us all save time, energy, and eyesight by preparing submissions thoughtfully and carefully.
