Literary Magazines Canada Collective @litmagscan.bsky.social · Jul 24
Post #3 summarizing our survey of #literarymagazines in Canada. We found that while litmags contribute significantly to writers & literary publishing, they are working with very limited resources. The large majority in our survey have no full-time paid staff. Read the full report: litmags.ca/survey/
Yellow background, black and pink text: "We found that litmags are doing this work with very limited resources. The large majority of litmags have no full-time paid staff." A pie chart shows that 75.6% of litmags report zero full-time staff.

hey everyone! ive had a couple of dozen folk telling me they're going to this event on thursday, but only 5 tickets have sold, which is prompting the venue to talk about cancelling; if you are planning to go, could you please pre-purchase your ticket? thanks!
