Submissions are OPEN!
Published four times per year, Grain Magazine is an internationally acclaimed literary journal that publishes engaging, surprising, eclectic, and challenging writing and art by Canadian and international writers and artists.
Before submitting your work to Grain, we recommend you read a recent issue of the magazine.
Please adhere to the following guidelines and do not submit more than twice in one submission period (third and subsequent submissions will neither be read nor returned). If you have work currently under consideration by Grain, please do not submit again until you have received a response to that submission.
Grain has a nine-month submission period that runs from September 15th to June 15th. Manuscripts received outside of this window will be automatically rejected.
Types of Work We Consider
Send typed, unpublished material only (we consider work published online to be previously published). If work is submitted simultaneously, please let us know as soon as possible if it is accepted elsewhere. Please only submit work in one genre at one time.
Poetry: Individual poems, sequences, or suites up to a maximum of six pages.
Fiction: To a maximum of 3,500 words.
Literary Nonfiction: To a maximum of 3,500 words.
For fiction and nonfiction submissions, PLEASE PROVIDE A WORD COUNT.
Other writing: Queries for submissions of work in other forms (i.e. short plays, comics, etc.) are welcome. You may submit such queries through Submittable or by mail.
Visual work: Mainly by invitation, though queries are welcome.
Contributor Payments
All contributors, regardless of genre, are paid $50 per page to a maximum of $250, plus two copies of the issue in which their work appears. Visual work published inside the magazine (in black and white) and on the cover (in colour) is paid at the same page rate as text contributions to a maximum of $500.
Rights
Grain purchases first Canadian serial rights and digital rights. Copyright remains with the writer or artist.
