Room Magazine

Seeking: RoomMates who love literature, events, merch, and supporting marginalized creators!

Room is Canada’s oldest feminist literary journal, and has published fiction, poetry, creative nonfiction, art, interviews, and book reviews for forty-five years. Published quarterly by the West Coast Feminist Literary Magazine Society, also known as the Growing Room Collective, Room showcases writing and art by women, transgender men, Two-Spirit, and nonbinary people. We believe in publishing emerging writers alongside established authors, and because of this, approximately 90% of the work we publish comes from unsolicited submissions or contest entries.

Room is home to the Indigenous Brilliance reading series, where we host online events dedicated to spotlighting brilliance from Indigenous women, Two-Spirit, and Indigiqueer artists, and where we host the Indigenous Brilliance podcast. Room also hosts knowledge-sharing events, issue launches, a mentor-in-residence program, and writing workshops, and often partners with organizations who share a similar mandate and goals.

With six membership tiers ranging from $5–$100, there’s something for every potential RoomMate. The work we do wouldn’t be possible without the support of our community, and we thank you for forty-five years of readership and community engagement. Let’s make it forty-five more!
