The Fiddlehead: Call for Submissions

*Submissions to The Fiddlehead are OPEN TO CANADIANS*

The Fiddlehead publishes excellent writing in English, or translations into English, from all over the world and in a variety of styles, including experimental genres. Our editors are always happy to see new unsolicited works in fiction (including excerpts from novels), creative nonfiction, and poetry. We also publish reviews and occasionally other creative work, such as excerpts from plays. Our acceptance rate is around 1-2% (we are, however, famous for our rejection notes!).

We particularly welcome submissions from BIPOC writers, writers with disabilities, LGBTQQIA+ writers, and writers from other intersectional and underrepresented communities. If you are comfortable identifying yourself as one or more of the above, please feel free to mention this in your cover letter.

Enquiries about submissions should be directed to The Fiddlehead. Please always refer to their website for complete details and information.

Please note, this opportunity is run by The Fiddlehead, not the Commonwealth Foundation.
