Hello! We have another curated a list of our favorite literary magazines, this time of Canadian origin, publishing steadily for a couple of years. What about us, The Bombay Review? Well, New York is a couple of hundred miles away from Toronto, so Canada is as much a neighbor to us as Pakistan is to Mumbai. We have conducted literary events in a few cities in Canada, and also have a special themed issue coming up next year. To that end, we are always open to reading your work, publishing your work, and engaging with you. Details below.
