Sterling Magazine, a Canadian literary magazine run
by David Bester, is acceptingcurrently submissions of fiction
(preferably between 2000-2500 words) and poetry (3-5 pieces).
Our main goal at Sterling is to find out what Canadian writers are
writing about. That is, we accept writing on all sorts of topics. As
long as the writing is genuine and not too difficult to understand, we
want to see it. Our favourite pieces will be published in our
forthcoming edition in Fall 2012, and the selected writers will be
awarded $25 for their work (we'd give them more if we could afford it!)
