Sea & Cedar Magazine

Are you a writer or artist living on Vancouver Island, Haida Gwaii, Bella Coola, or the Gulf Islands?

Vancouver Island Regional Library (VIRL) is accepting literature and art submissions for future issues of our serial print and digital publication, Sea & Cedar Magazine.  Submissions are OPEN year-round. The deadline to have your work considered for the Spring 2025 issue is November 3, 2024. Visit our Submissions page for details.

Sea & Cedar Magazine is a biannual print and digital publication dedicated to showcasing exemplary new writing by both emerging and established writers in VIRL’s service area. We also seek to highlight the work of visual artists who are creating at all levels of experience in VIRL’s service area. Our goal is to provide a platform for a diverse range of voices to be heard, to support the many talented and innovative individuals creating literature and art in our communities, and to provide our readership with access to engaging and thought-provoking local content.

We welcome and encourage submissions from BIPOC writers and artists, writers and artists with disabilities, 2SLGBTQIA+ writers and artists, low-income earners, and writers and artists from other intersectional and under-represented communities. If you are comfortable self-identifying as a member of any of these communities, please do so within your cover letter.
