Queen’s Quarterly is one of Canada’s oldest and most distinguished literary and intellectual journals, published continuously since 1893 out of Queen’s University in Kingston, Ontario. It publishes a broad mix of poetry, fiction, creative nonfiction, essays, opinion, analysis, and reportage, with a mandate to present accessible, singular voices engaging with ideas and issues of broad contemporary relevance. Now in its 133rd volume, the journal has long served as a forum for the Canadian national conversation, featuring both emerging and established writers alongside visual art in each quarterly print edition.

The journal welcomes submissions on any topic that brings a fresh perspective to the contemporary world, with a premium placed on originality of voice and accessibility of ideas. Payment is provided for accepted work, and editorial support is offered to contributors. Submissions can be sent directly to the editorial team via email. The journal is available by subscription through its online store, with full content accessible in the printed edition.
