Pulp Literature is a quarterly Canadian print and digital magazine currently up to its 34th issue. The editorial team, led by editors-inchief Jennifer Landels, Mel Anastasiou and Genevieve Wynand, are looking for any genre or between-genre work of literature, or visual art (black and white for interiors, colour for covers) up to fifty pages in length. These can be short stories, novellas, poetry, comics or illustrations. No non-fiction, memoir, or young adult or children’s stories.
The editors say that ‘pulp’ refers to the ‘cheap pulp paper of dimestore novels and digests of the past’ and they ‘want our magazine to include a balance of all genres, including fantasy, romance, mystery, literary, etc’. The add, ‘We receive so many brilliant but depressing stories that we must pass on all but the best gems. We strive for emotional balance in each of our issues, and want our readers to leave feeling challenged yet refreshed.’
