Additional info

We publish Canadian residents only and accept queries (not completed manuscripts). This Magazine welcomes queries only, not already written pieces. A good This Magazine article offers background and context to ongoing national issues, a challenge to the mainstream media perspective, or an important story that hasn’t been told elsewhere. Subject matter includes politics, culture, the arts, social issues, labour, feminism, mental health, race/racism, Indigenous issues, and sexuality, with a focus on quality writing and in-depth reportage. Submissions by BIPOC, Q2ST, disabled, and other marginalized writers are especially welcomed. Feel free to tell us if you are a marginalized writer—although there is no requirement to do so. Payment. We pay $125 per accepted short story up to 2500 words. We pay 60$ per flash fiction story under 1000 words (we will run two flash stories in an issue in this case). We pay $50 per accepted poem.
