Toronto Journal is a journal in print and sound. The editorial team ‘has two foundational goals: to dig up local history, and to publish great fiction.’ This means every issue ‘is book-ended by two historical pieces’ and the magazine opens ‘with a nonfiction piece about some forgotten slice of local history from Toronto, the GTA, or surrounding areas, and closes with an old piece of local writing from the city’s past.’ In between the team publish ‘great fiction from anywhere in the world’ and create a podcast of the work, because ‘writing should speak for itself.’ Submit short stories, no more than7,500 words.
Deadline: 1 October. Payment: pay CAN$50 for first serial rights.
