Post #3 summarizing our survey of #literarymagazines in Canada. We found that while litmags contribute significantly to writers & literary publishing, they are working with very limited resources. The large majority in our survey have no full-time paid staff. Read the full report: litmags.ca/survey/

Post #2 highlighting results of our survey. #Litmags are a significant contribution to writing communities and the publishing industry in Canada. We estimate that litmags publish 3,000 to 4,000 authors/yr & pay $250,000 to $500,000 in contributor fees. See full report at litmags.ca
