Call for Submissions: Geist

Geist is a magazine of ideas and culture with a strong literary focus and a sense of humour. The Geist tone is intelligent, plain-talking, inclusive and offbeat. Each issue represents a convergence of fiction, non-fiction, poetry, photography, comics, reviews, little-known facts of interest, cartography and the legendary Geist crossword puzzle.

Our mandate is to publish emerging and established writers and artists from across Canada, bringing them to a wide audience.

We encourage submissions from writers of colour, writers with disabilities, LGBTQIA2S+ writers, and writers from other intersectional and marginalized groups.

Geist offers no-fee general submissions for Black writers, Indigenous writers, and writers of colour. Please submit through the “General Submissions for BIPOC writers” form.

We also offer a limited number of no-fee general submissions to low-income writers per submission period. Please contact:

editor@geist.com

to access these spots, which are allocated on a first-come basis.

Click here to submit your work through Submittable.

We do not accept submissions by email. Thank you.

Print submissions can be sent by mail to:

Editorial Board, Geist
#210 - 111 West Hastings St.
Vancouver, B.C.
Canada V6B 1H4

For responses, please include your email address or a SASE with Canadian postage or IRC. We accept simultaneous submissions, but please note it in your cover letter and let us know if your submission is accepted elsewhere. We buy first North American serial rights for most original work, and second or third serial rights for previously published work (including work published on the internet).

Wait six months before emailing to check the status of your submission. And please, no phone calls.
