Submissions to The Fiddlehead are OPEN
The Fiddlehead publishes excellent writing in English, or translations into English, from all over the world and in a variety of styles, including experimental genres. Our editors are always happy to see new unsolicited works in fiction (including excerpts from novels), creative nonfiction, and poetry. We also publish reviews and occasionally other creative work, such as excerpts from plays. Our acceptance rate is around 1-2% (we are, however, famous for our rejection notes!).
We particularly welcome submissions from BIPOC writers, writers with disabilities, LGBTQQIA+ writers, and writers from other intersectional and underrepresented communities. If you are comfortable identifying yourself as one or more of the above, please feel free to mention this in your cover letter.
The Fiddlehead does not publish work that is ableist, misogynistic, queer-phobic, or racist. Strong writing treats identity categories with nuance.
If you are serious about submitting to The Fiddlehead, you should read an issue or two to get a sense of the journal. Consider subscribing or contact us to order back issues ($15-$20 plus postage).
Our two Submittable submission periods are January 1 - March 31 (Canadian only) and September 15 - November 30. If you don’t already have a Submittable account, you will be prompted to sign up for one before you submit. It is free and it only takes a few minutes.
For those who prefer snail mail and handwritten responses, we accept mailed submissions in any category all year round.
Pay is $60 CAD per published page, plus two complimentary copies of the issue with your work. Contributors may purchase additional copies of an issue at a discount.
Submit your work here.
