The Malahat Review 50th Anniversary
Publishing since 1967 from the University of Victoria, The Malahat Review is one of Canada’s leading literary journals. Editors since its inception have included Robin Skelton, John Peter, Constance Rooke, Derk Wynand, Marlene Cookshaw, and currently John Barton (since 2004).
Originally subtitled “An International Magazine of Life and Letters,” The Malahat Review now focuses on Canadian and international poetry, fiction, and creative nonfiction. The publication’s website also features book reviews, interviews, contests, podcasts, and publishing tips – a bimontly guest column in which authors share how to improve professionals skills: “from the writing of cover letters, to what house style means, to choosing a rhyming dictionary, to having an author photo (as opposed to a selfie) shot.”
Happy Anniversary Malahat! Here’s hoping for another great half-century to come!
