Block Party (established 2021) is a magazine and chapbook press that publishes voice-driven poetry and prose and compelling visual art through both our digital magazine and hybrid chapbooks.

We aim to feature an array of artists from across Canada, and occasionally worldwide, that demonstrate individuality within their field of practice. We like to think of Block Party Magazine and Press as a literal Block Party: a place for the community to come together and celebrate the talents of their neighbours, while also sharing their own.

Please review our submission guidelines to see if Block Party would be a good fit for your work. To also help determine fit, we encourage you to check out our recent magazine issues.

Block Party is a 2SLGBTQIA+ friendly, accessible, pro-choice, and anti-racist publisher. We will not consider work that poses harm onto anyone in the aforementioned communities through hate speech, cultural appropriation, bias, representations of violence, and alike.
