What do we publish?
We publish short stories from anywhere in the world.
We will also consider non-fiction pieces that are either set locally or explore some local history (Toronto, GTA, and surrounding). See the Stories from the City category, and the Toronto Feature category, respectively, for some examples.
Who do we publish?
We are firm believers in the idea that the writing should speak for itself. It’s irrelevant to us whether you’re a new writer or an established writer. All submissions to Toronto Journal are anonymous.
Compensation: We pay $50 per piece. All published writers will also receive a printed copy of the issue in which they appear.
