The Malahat Review welcomes submissions of poetry, short fiction, and creative nonfiction, as well as translated work in any of these three genres, by new and established writers from Canada and abroad. We particularly welcome submissions from those writers who for reasons of race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, ability, geography, class, culture, or religion have been historically under-represented in Canadian literary contexts. The best way to know what kinds of work we might publish is to order a print or digital issue, or subscribe.
Submissions from Canadian writers are accepted for consideration from January 1 to June 30 each year.
Submissions from international (including US) writers are accepted for consideration from February 14 to February 28 or until our submission cap is reached for the month. *Please note there will be a small submission fee of CAD$7 (approximately USD$5) per regular submission for international (including US) submissions.*
We try our best to get back to writers as soon as possible. Due to the many submissions we receive, please allow for one to six months for poetry and up to nine months for fiction and creative nonfiction.
We accept submissions via Submittable only. Please submit your work in a single .doc, .docx, or .pdf file. Please list the word count (for prose) or line count (for poetry) at the beginning of each piece. For regular submissions, make sure your name and contact info appear on the first page.
We don’t publish any work that has previously been published, whether in print or online, even if the print run or online audience was small. No work that has been excerpted elsewhere is eligible for submission, nor is any work that has been revised since its original publication.
For regular submissions, please inform us if you’re making a simultaneous submission, and please update us as soon as possible with any changes to the status of your submission.
The magazine’s Editorial Boards are not interested in AI-generated work as such (e.g., machine-written work generated by a prompt). Given the increasing cultural presence and uses of AI, submitters will be asked in Submittable whether AI has been used in the creation of the work being submitted and, if the answer is yes, to explain the extent and nature of its use and what artistic ends it is meant to serve.
We pay CAD$70 per published page plus a one-year print subscription and two copies of the issue in which your work appears. We purchase first world serial print and digital rights for publication in English; copyright remains with the author.
