ROSE GARDEN PRESS

Submissions

Our goal is to provide a platform that prioritizes vulnerable expression and centres the voices and moments at the periphery.

After careful consideration, we have transitioned our publishing model from single-authored chapbooks to that of an anthology-based approach to combine different voices, styles and forms that compliment each other, build from each other, and interact with each other. These voices, in tandem, will explore and examine a theme that ties the handcrafted work together — a theme which addresses an undeniably felt collective experience.

When submitting your work, we ask you to please submit an author bio and brief description of the enclosed work, detailing the connection to the theme which will be announced each year during open submission calls.


While we are closed for submissions for 2024, we look forward to reading your work and growing the Canadian literary landscape together in the years to come!
