Hub - Canadian Literary Publications

How It Works.

The publications listed are in random order. On desktop, on the left is a screenshot of the submissions page of a publication website. On the right is the name of the publication & information as to the next submission deadlines. Below is a button where if you click on it, a new window opens up directly to the submissions page (On your phone, the information is presented as screenshot, name & dates & a button to visit the website)

The information will be updated weekly, every Monday. So if a publication is not accepting submissions for one week but is the next, you’ll see that reflected here.

We will also be updating & adding to the list at the beginning of each month.

Last Update: November 26th, 2022.
