About the magazine
The Fifth Corner Literary Society is a nascent Canadian literary organization based in Toronto, founded in 2023 to support experimental and cross-genre writing. Its name evokes the idea of a space that exists beyond conventional boundaries, reflecting a commitment to work that resists easy categorization. The Society operates The Fifth Corner Press, which is currently in its founding reading period for 2026, seeking manuscripts that challenge formal conventions and explore the intersections of text with other media. The organization aims to foster a community of writers and readers through publications, readings, and collaborative projects, with a focus on emerging and underrepresented voices in the Canadian literary landscape.
Submitting your work
Reading periodVaries
Writers should review the full guidelines on the Society's website before submitting. The press seeks manuscripts that demonstrate formal innovation, hybridity, and a willingness to engage with the literary tradition while pushing against its limits. Simultaneous submissions are accepted, but please notify promptly if your work is placed elsewhere. Given the press's founding status, response times may be longer than usual; patience is appreciated. Include a brief cover letter that contextualizes your work within contemporary literary conversations.
