Shrapnel publishes experimental writing from emerging writers in the genres of fiction, creative non-fiction, essays, and poetry. We also converse with the Canadian literary community through book reviews, interviews, and columns.
We are also keen to publish graphic narratives and comics, as well as transgenre work that is not easily categorized.
Please note that Shrapnel is not currently publishing stories centred around trauma or grief.
Please read the submission guidelines for each genre carefully and submit your very best work. We will not respond to submissions that do not follow our guidelines.
All fiction, CNF, and essay publications are paid $60; book reviews are paid $40; hybrid works, comics and poems are paid $30. We’re eager to raise the pay as soon as possible depending on what funding we can secure.
We’re paying extra for your voice! On top of our rates for written work, we’ll chuck in an additional $5 for writers who are able to record themselves reading their piece. This makes our content more accessible and gives people more than one way to experience your stories.
Regarding All Submissions
Please include content warnings if your writing involves scenes of violence or sexual assault.
Some of our readers are sensitive to topics of this nature and we want to ensure everyone has a good time working with Shrapnel. Thanks for your cooperation.
If a submission is rejected, please wait six months before resubmitting.
Submit your work here.
