Cover letter
Your cover letter should include: recent publishing history (if any), relationship to Canada/Turtle Island (citizen/settler, Indigenous, resident, etc.), intersectional identity (only if comfortable disclosing), and whether your submission is simultaneous. If you are comfortable with it, we encourage writers to indicate their intersections in their cover letter. We pay attention to whose voices we publish, and this information helps us be self-aware as we construct issues.
