Submission Call for Issue 35 now closed!
Submissions for NorthWord Magazine’s Issue 35 - Resistance are now officially closed. Thank you to all of the artists who answered the call!
Save the Date: This next edition, guest edited by local poet Jamal E Fatima Rafat, will be launched in April 2027 to coincide with National Poetry Month. Details to come.
NorthWord Magazine publishes twice a year through the support of community volunteers and advertisers.
Publication launches take place in April during National Poetry Month and September to coincide with Alberta Culture Days.
For each edition, the Northern Canada Collective Society of Writers' Board of Directors selects a guest editor.
Each guest editor is required to pick a theme to kick-start the creativity. They also decide on the artwork for the front cover.
As submissions come in, the managing editor removes names before showing the guest editor for transparency purposes.
After the selection process, the publication is produced and disbursed throughout the Wood Buffalo region.
Accepted Submissions:
-
prose (3,000 words or fewer, fiction or non-fiction)
-
poetry (50 lines maximum)
-
excerpts from current projects
-
visual art
