SUBMISSIONS

CLOSED

The Sprawl Mag is currently closed to submissions. We love speculative work that explores colonial resistance, climate hope, and cyber-feminism. But if you don't cover those themes, that's awesome too, we want to read what matters to you!

We pay contributors $20 CAD per published piece. 

We encourage submissions from QTBIPOC, women, nonbinary, queer, and disabled writers.

We accept simultaneous submissions, but please send us an email to let us know if your piece is picked up elsewhere so we can congratulate you! Queries or withdrawals may be sent to submissions@thesprawlmag.ca. We do not accept work that has been previously published.

Please include a brief, third-person biography with your submission.
