Room is Canada’s oldest feminist literary magazine, published quarterly since 1975. Room publishes literature, art, and criticism by cis and trans women, trans men, Two-Spirit, and nonbinary people, and is committed to an intersectional feminist mandate centring 2SLGBTQIA+, BIPOC, and disabled voices.
Works that originally appeared in Room have been anthologized in The Journey Prize Anthology, Best Canadian Poetry, Best Canadian Stories, and Best Canadian Essays, and have won National Magazine Awards. Each issue of Room is edited by a different team from the Growing Room Collective, our rotating editorial board, making space for a variety of unique editorial visions. We publish short stories, creative nonfiction, poetry, art, interviews, and book reviews. Room runs community programming independently and with our partners Unbound Reading Series, Indigenous Brilliance, and Hush Harbour Press.
