Editor Interview: Room Magazine Poetry Contest

literature, feminism, art

There are too many amazing literary magazines in B.C. to name. Room has partnered up with many of them and we have a deep respect for the magazines they produce. Personally, I am an avid reader of PRISM International, Event, Geist, and SubTerrain because of the unique voice they allow to flow through their pages.

Jamaica Kincaid, Toni Morrison, Dionne Brand, Sheila Heti, George Elliot Clarke, Frank McCourt.

At Room, we have a rotating editorial board. So with each issue we put out, there will be a unique voice behind it and this opens the doors for many different styles and hybrid genres of writing to come through. We welcome and support emerging writers.

Read Room! Subscribe for a full year to see how different each issue can be, but also see the cohesiveness that comes from working with a tightly-knit collective. Look closely at your work, and look even closer at Room to see there's a magnetic pull, and if there is, submit.

The ideal Room submission is polished poetry or prose that is submitted with a brief cover letter displaying why your work belongs in Room. The ideal submission speaks to every single Room reader.
