Guidelines 
 

The IAQ accepts proposals of 250 words in length. Features must have a cohesive point of view throughout, and they should address the theme of the magazine. Proposals should outline the subject of the article; artists or artworks you intend to include; what ideas or concepts your feature will discuss and an approximate word count, along with any other information you consider relevant to your piece.

Submissions for reviews and editorials are accepted on an on-going basis for both web and print editions.

Please send submissions to: [email protected] and include “Submission for 33.3 (FALL 2020)” in the subject line.

Are you interested in writing for the IAQ, but would prefer to be assigned a story? Feel free to send along a quick bio and writing sample to the email above.

As part of a commitment to fostering diversity and meaningful inclusion in the Canadian publishing industry and arts community, the IAQ encourages submissions from emerging and established Inuit writers as well as writers who identify as Indigenous, Black, People of Colour, persons with disabilities, women, queer, trans or non-binary persons or any combination of these intersections.

Style

For style guidelines to follow while preparing your piece for submission, please see the IAQ – Author Style Guide. Otherwise, please follow the Chicago Manual of Style.

Any secondary sources included in your submission must be cited using endnotes.

Proposals and manuscripts must be submitted in .doc or .docx format.
