January/February 2024: Open theme

We’re now accepting pitches for our January/February 2024 issue! This issue has an open theme. We’re seeking news, arts and ideas stories, and features. This includes our back page open letter, memoir and opinion columns, and culture column. We publish Canadian residents only and accept queries (not completed manuscripts). We suggest familiarizing yourself with the magazine and previously published stories before pitching. For more details on the kinds of pieces we run, see below.

We like stories that aren’t likely to be found anywhere else, ideally with a social justice tie-in. In your pitch, it’s always great to say why you want to tell this story now, why you’re the one to tell it, sources you plan to consult, and any takeaways your piece will include for the reader. In other words, what might people learn, or start to learn, from reading your story?

Pitches are due Sept. 28, 2023 and can be sent to Sarah Ratchford, editor at thismagazine dot ca.

Thank you for pitching This Magazine! We can’t wait to read your ideas.
