We review current and forthcoming fiction, non-fiction, and poetry by Canadian folks of marginalized genders, including but not limited to women (cisgender and transgender), transgender men, Two-Spirit and nonbinary people (everyone but cis men), published by indie Canadian publishers. Our goal is to introduce readers to intriguing and original new work. However, due to funding reasons, we prioritize Canadian content. Room does not publish work created, supplemented, or edited in whole or in part using generative AI or large language models such as ChatGPT.
Reviewers who were born in Canada or currently reside in Canada are welcome to send their pitches to reviews@roommagazine.com. Please note we only accept pitches, not pre-written reviews, as we have specific guidelines for submissions.
For publishers and publicists: Please do not send unsolicited physical review copies. We only accept review materials that have been requested or approved in advance by our editorial team.
