Dear Brian,
Voicings is a literary magazine for Aboriginal writing, open to writers living in Canada. We are currently doing a call for submissions of short stories and creative non-fiction, as well as art. Details can be found at www.voicings.ca/submissions

Thank you, 
Natasha Smith
Editor, Voicings Literary Magazine

Details:
·         We welcome submissions of original short stories, creative non-fiction, and art, by Aboriginals writing in Canada.
·         In the future we hope to have the resources to also accept poetry; so, poets, please check back in with us for later issues.
·         Please only send previously-unpublished materials.
·        Write your cover letter in the body of the email. Please include why you would like to be published in Voicings, whether you have been published before and where, any awards you have received, whether your submission is a short story, work of creative non-fiction, or art, the word count of your written piece, and your contact information.
