Each fall issue features the winning stories and poems from our annual Short Grain Contest, judged each year by prominent writers from the Canadian literary community.

Contributors have included some of Canada’s most celebrated writers, including Alice Munro, Jane Urquhart, Larissa Lai, Carol Shields, Karen Solie, Pamela Porter, Elizabeth Bachinsky, and Betsy Warland. Each quarter we publish original, thought-provoking works that reflect strength, sensuality, vulnerability, and wit. Correspondence: Room magazine, Box 46160 Station D, Vancouver, BC, V6J 5G5.

Taddle Creek often is asked to define itself and, just as often, it tends to refuse to do so. But it will say this: each issue of the magazine contains a multitude of things between its snazzily illustrated covers, including, but not limited to, fiction, poetry, comics, art, interviews, and feature stories. It’s an odd mix, to be sure, which is why Taddle Creek refers to itself somewhat oddly as a “general-interest literary magazine.” Work presented in Taddle Creek is humorous, poignant, ephemeral, urban, and rarely overly earnest, though not usually all at once. Taddle Creek takes its mission to be the journal for those who detest everything the literary magazine has become in the twenty-first century very seriously. Editor-in-Chief: Conan Tobias.
