About Room Magazine

Room is Canada’s oldest literary journal by, for, and about women. Published quarterly by a group of volunteers based in Vancouver, Room showcases fiction, poetry, reviews, art work, interviews and profiles about the female experience. Many of our contributors are at the beginning of their writing careers, looking for an opportunity to get published for the first time. Some later go on to great acclaim.

Room is a space where women can speak, connect, and showcase their creativity. Each quarter we publish original, thought-provoking works that reflect women’s strength, sensuality, vulnerability, and wit.

Roomies: The Volunteer Collective

The Growing Room Collective is a group of volunteers who handle all the editorial, production, and administration of the quarterly magazine.

In addition to jobs, families, and other volunteer activities, the collective members read hundreds of manuscripts a year; edit, proofread, and desktop each issue; process and mail subscriptions; and handle all the business, bookkeeping, and marketing aspects involved in the production of a magazine.

The current Collective includes:

Mindy Abramowitz Meghan Bell Olivia Bevan Candace Fertile Adrienne Fitzpatrick Jasna Ganibegovic Paula Grasdal Amber Hitchen Nailah King Irina Kovalyova

Brigid MacAulay Amy McCall Jade McGregor Lorrie Miller Helen Polychronakos Clélie Rich Susannah Rohloff Amanda Sun Rachel Thompson Jennifer Zilm
