Post #3 summarizing our survey of #literarymagazines in Canada. We found that while litmags contribute significantly to writers & literary publishing, they are working with very limited resources. The large majority in our survey have no full-time paid staff. Read the full report: litmags.ca/survey/
Yellow background, black and pink text: "We found that litmags are doing this work with very limited resources. The large majority of litmags have no full-time paid staff." A pie chart shows that 75.6% of litmags report zero full-time staff.

What does it mean for a book to be fully Canadian-made? LPG publishers are committed to keeping Canadian stories, talent, and production close to home, checking all the boxes.
A graphic with text reading "Shopping for Canadian-Made Books? Check out this list of Canadian-owned presses" at the top with a list of 66 members of the Literary Press Group. There is a checkbox near the top outlining what makes a book entirely Canadian-made: Canadian publisher, Canadian author, designed and printed in Canada, and warehoused and distributed in Canada.
