Many now well-known writers have found their first home in its pages, and they, as well as some of its editors and assistants, have gone on to win national and international awards and prizes. The Fiddlehead sponsors two annual contests, one in short fiction and the Ralph Gustafson Prize for Best Poem." Welcomes new writers. Quarterly. Pays upon publication.

CURRENT NEEDS: "The Fiddlehead is always open to good poetry and short fiction in English from all over the world, looking always for freshness and surprise. Work is read on an ongoing basis; acceptance is around 1-2% (our handwritten rejection notes, however, are famous). Pay is approximately $40 (Canadian) per published page for fiction and poetry, plus two complimentary copies of the journal.
