Last Call for Submissions! - Common House


Hi there!

I'm Grace Wildman, a member of the editorial board for Common House Magazine—uOttawa's undergraduate literary magazine. There is less than one month left in our submission period for our seventh issue, and we're seeking sincere, innovative, and crafted works across the following genres and mediums: fiction, poetry, creative nonfiction, scripts, visual art, photography, multimedia art, and more. Don't miss the opportunity to be showcased next to artists from Canada and beyond! Submit your work before March 31st. 

Born in 2022 from the English Dept., Common House has its roots in uOttawa, but is constructed as a place where all writers can belong. We've published six issues and a summer collection; reached thousands of readers across Canadian and international audiences; and showcased dozens of talented artists, both emerging and established.

Annual submission periods:
FALL: August 24 to November 30
WINTER: December 1 to March 31


The submission form is available on our website or any of our social media platforms!


For any questions, you can reach out to us at our Instagram (@commonhousemag) or our email (commonhousemag@gmail.com).


Catch us at VERSeFest on March 27th—Ottawa's International Poetry Festival! We're hosting poets Jennifer Baker, Sneha Subramanian Kanta, and Vera Hadzic at the Happy Goat Laurel at 7:00 PM. Visit the VERSe website to buy tickets and learn more.


Save the date for our launch party: April 8th at the Avant-Garde Bar from 7-9 PM (1351/2 Besserer St.). Enjoy a night of readings from our seventh issue, get a drink, meet and mingle with other members of the Ottawa literary community, and perform at the event's open mic portion! We'd love to see you there.


Sincerely,

The Common House Team
