Cover letter
In the body of the email/cover letter begin by introducing yourself. No pressure, we just want to fall in love with you. If you have publishing credits, great. If not, great. We'll celebrate your portfolio with you but certainly don't require it. We expect your work to speak for itself. Tell us a little about your submission: bait us with a hook, reel us in with a brief synopsis, and let us know what section of the magazine you think it would fit into. Offer us links to your website and social media accounts so we can get to know you even better.

Additional info
Accept work only from Canadian creatives Submission fee: $6 for a fiction feature, $3 for everything else. Free submission months: September, December, March, and June We are currently plugging feature fiction into issues two years in advance. You are certainly still welcome to submit, just with the understanding that you will have to be patient if your piece is accepted for publication. We are actively seeking art and photography submissions for earlier issues, so please send those along without hesitation. Simultaneous submissions and work previously published on your own blog or website are both okay. If the work has been previously published in print (or on an online space you do not own) let us know when and where and be sure you have the proper rights to allow us to republish. Contributors to the magazine will receive a complimentary one year digital subscription to Blank Spaces, beginning with the issue their work appears in. Contributors will also be invited to purchase a print copy(s) at a discounted rate.
