CANADIAN MAGAZINES

 

 

 

The AA Independent Press Guide started life as a supplement to Acid Angel Magazine, back in 1998.  Since then, it has grown and grown, and now over 2,000 print and internet magazines and publishers are listed from all over the world.  The one thing that hasn’t expanded is the editorial team.  That is, it is still a one man operation, and it is physically impossible for this one man to keep tabs on everything in this guide.  Whilst I endeavour to keep The AA Independent Press Guide as accurate and up-to-date as possible I just don’t have the time, energy or finance necessary to constantly check and re-check each listing.  Magazines and publishers come and go, just like that.  So, inevitably, some of the magazines and publishers listed will no longer be operational.  There will also be omissions in this guide: magazines and publishers that aren’t listed.

 

You can help out, by making me aware of any inaccuracies and omissions in this guide.  Just email me at aa-independent-press-guide@ntlworld.com and let me know what you know.  Then I can let everyone else know too!

In 1981, a group of young people, who had been in North America for just over a decade, decided to take the plunge and start the magazine they had always dreamed about as students, at a time when books by Naipaul — let alone Narayan or Ngugi or Soyinka — had to be ordered from publishers. The result was The Toronto South Asian Review which helped entrench a generation of new writers, and was so successful that it could never put the brakes on. TSAR Publications, then, came naturally as a book-publishing, arms-length venture of the company, to publish new Canadian and American (regardless of ethnic origin) as well as world writing.
