Big Ideas: We are looking for approximately 1000 words on a thoughtful and researched perspective on topics relating to issues hovering on or near the news agenda. Pay is $55 Canadian and as an added bonus, we will promote your story widely on social media.

Musings: Shorter than our big ideas, and sometimes covering a similar topic, Musings are an educated and thoughtful opinion on a theme hovering on the periphery of the news agenda. Imagine you are a dinner party, in a heated, but respectful conversation with guest who has a diametrically apposed opinion. Pay is $35 Canadian and as an added bonus, we will promote your story widely on social media.

Literature: Short fiction under 3000 words but if it’s a bit over, just try us. We look for literary stories that tackle big theme ideas. We are also open minded so if it’s a play or a poem, we would still love to take a look. Pay is $35 Canadian and as an added bonus, we will promote your story widely on social media.
