Geist, a Canadian magazine with a mandate to publish writers and artists from across Canada, opens a no-fee submission window for BIPOC writers. The call seeks original, previously unpublished nonfiction: short personal narratives (up to 2,000 words, flexible) for the Notes and Dispatches section, and longer features (up to 5,000 words). Submissions are accepted one piece at a time. While the standard submission fee is waived for this opportunity, the magazine's editorial standards remain rigorous. Selected writers can expect to work closely with the editor-in-chief through several drafts and revisions, shaping the piece to align with Geist's house style, audience, and the author's intention. Geist buys First North American Serial Rights; copyright reverts to the author after publication. This is a chance to join a publication that values thoughtful, voice-driven nonfiction and a collaborative editing process. The curatorial vision centers on personal narrative and essays that resonate with Geist's readership—work that is both intimate and culturally engaged. The magazine's commitment to Canadian writers and artists means that submissions reflecting a range of Canadian experiences are particularly welcome, though the call is open to BIPOC writers regardless of location. The no-fee window is designed to reduce barriers and encourage submissions from communities historically underrepresented in literary magazines.
