Mission Statement / Editorial Focus
Based in Peterborough, Ontario, Canada, Paddler Press supports international authors and artists through the publication of poetry, creative non-fiction, and art. We don't look at names or publication history when choosing work for our issues. We strive to represent the voices of diverse communities and encourage creatives at any stage of their development to consider us when submitting. We nominate for The Pushcart Prize and our Canadian poets are considered for the yearly Best Canadian Poetry anthology.
Accepts Unsolicited Submissions
Yes
Do You Have Any Cover Letter Advice?
A short hello is always appreciated. I don't need a detailed list of what is being submitted, but if you feel that some background information would be helpful, please include it. Bio statements should list 2-3 publications, not a complete listing.
Do You Have A Favorite Unsolicited Submission Discovery Or Anecdote?
For our first issue (that I had intended to be the only issue) I received some photos from a poet in Scotland of a place in Ontario I had never heard of before. It led to an amazing day of local tourism and discovery with family and friends.
Who Is Your Ideal Reader?
Our ideal reader is someone who appreciates honest and accessible poems. Someone who loves the simple things, special moments captured by keen eyes. We hope that our publications are read by every member of your family, including your mother.
