About

The Quilliad is an independent literary and arts publication based in Toronto. We started out as a chapbook put together by the University Heights Literary Society and have evolved into a full-fledged journal published by The Quilliad Press. We publish emerging and established writers and artists in our pages, and we welcome submissions from all Canadian writers, including POC, LGBTQA+, neurodivergent, and disabled creators. Our spring/May issue is open to general literature (no genre fiction or poetry), while our fall/Halloween issue is open to apocalyptic fiction, retold fairy tales, horror, and science fiction as well.

Before Submitting

We cannot guarantee that the information on this page is correct. It is not unusual for publications to evolve or close without notice. We do our best to keep up, but it isn't always possible. Duotrope listings do not imply endorsement or recommendation of the project being listed. Before submitting, you should use your own judgment to determine whether the project meets your standards.

  • Always read the full guidelines provided by the publisher.
  • Try to read at least one previous publication to get a better idea of what the editor would like to see.
  • Unless the publisher's guidelines state otherwise, always use industry standard manuscript formatting.
  • Be professional, patient, and persistent.
