The Literary Review of Canada happily accepts review copies and ARCs from book publishers and authors.

While we can only review a fraction of what we receive in a given year, we do carefully consider everything that arrives.

Physical copies are strongly preferred. Please send to our mailing address:

The Literary Review of Canada welcomes pitches from prospective writers, illustrators, and photographers. Email us with specific review proposals, essay ideas, or general queries, but please do not send already completed work, which we rarely accept.

The editors endeavour to respond to all thoughtful queries in a timely manner. Given the volume of pitches and press releases we receive, however, we are occasionally unable to do so. And while we happily consider unsolicited review topics and essay ideas on a rolling basis, we do work far ahead of our latest published issue and cannot accommodate op-eds or breaking news.

The Literary Review of Canada commissions humans to fill our pages with compelling writing and beautiful visuals. We must decline all content generated by or with artificial intelligence.

Please no simultaneous submissions.

The Literary Review of Canada considers unpublished work by emerging and established Canadian poets during set reading periods. Please email your work as a Word file — and paste it into the body of your message — including no more than five poems for consideration. None should  exceed fifty lines, including the title and blank lines, and submissions should include your full contact information.

There will be two distinct reading periods for 2027 issues. Submissions will only be considered during the times below:

• For the January/February to May issues: submit between September 20, 2026 and October 20, 2026
• For the June to December issues: submit between March 10, 2027 and April 10, 2027
