Who We Are

LMCC welcomes all literary magazines publishing in Canada and across colonial borders.

We define a literary magazine as:

• A print and/or online periodical that publishes at least fifty percent literary content: prose, poetry, and/or graphic literary work;
• A publication that accepts unsolicited submissions and maintains publicly available submission guidelines.
