Ricepaper Magazine

About

Ricepaper Magazine is a Vancouver-based Canadian magazine which has showcased Asian Canadian literature, culture, and the arts since 1994.
We’re a literary magazine. We publish new poetry, fiction, drama, graphic novels, translation, and almost every other kind of creative writing from across the country.
We’re an arts magazine. We publish cultural reviews of books, theatre, and film. We also publish original art and photography.
We’re a magazine about people. The body of work coming from Asian Canadian artists and writers is prolific and growing. Ricepaper profiles and interviews the leading and up-and-coming artists and writers in this community. At the same time, we invite Asian writers around the world to contribute content. Canada is a land of many cultures. A story outside our borders can be as relatable as one found within.

Limited Demographic: Submissions are restricted to Asians of all cultural backgrounds.
