Blank Spaces is a quarterly Canadian literary arts magazine of archival quality, featuring creative non-fiction, fiction, poetry, art, and photography by Canadian creatives from British Columbia to Newfoundland.
Each Blank Spaces edition is 8.5" x 11", printed in full colour with a full bleed on HP Indigo digital presses. These commercial presses have been calibrated to provide a high quality output - from crisp text to brilliant graphics. Editions are printed on paper that is FSC-certified and acid-free, and they are perfect-bound (a square glued binding similar to a paperback book).
New issues are released every March, June, September, and December and a subscription covers four issues.
An economic digital option is available if you prefer. Digital copies are delivered as a PDF and can be enjoyed on any device, including your Kindle reader. These will show up in your inbox at the beginning of every publication month.
Subscriptions do not auto-renew. You will be contacted at the end of your subscription with a prompt to renew if you choose.
