Allan Cho, Executive Editor of Ricepaper Magazine

"We put many writers on the map who otherwise might have slipped through the cracks of the mainstream literary presses. No book publisher was going to give out a contract if you had no short story or poem published in a lit mag."

John Barton, Editor of The Malahat Review, 2004-2017

"I believe that our authors are the best authorities on their own work and I want them to be happy with the published results because how it reads will remain important to them long after I have moved on."

Karl and Stephanie Johanson, Editor & Art Director of Neo-opsis Science Fiction Magazine

Unlike some other magazines Neo-opsis values story first and literary quality second. Karl: "I think it's easier to fix bad grammar than to fix an uninspiring story.”

Daniel Zomparelli, editor, Poetry is Dead

"I genuinely love reading, and magazines provide the opportunities for new work to be out before they turn into books or movies. It's like the front lines of knowledge and literature."
