Transition Magazine
TRANSITION is a truly unique publication, published twice annually by the Saskatchewan Division of Canadian Mental Health Association. A subscription to TRANSITION is available by purchasing an annual CMHA Sask membership for $15.
TRANSITION is a magazine which publishes two kinds of works: those directly about mental health issues; and those about the individual’s personal experience of those same issues. Both kinds of works celebrate lives in transit – lives of change, growth, and transformation.
We solicit original, unpublished articles, as well as fiction, non-fiction, poetry, book reviews, and visual art (black and white) that represent current mental health issues in our province and reflect on their impact on individuals. TRANSITION encourages emerging writers and artists of all kinds to submit their work for publication.
There are no deadlines for submissions as Transition Magazine accepts submissions continuously.
Submission Guidelines for Transition
Send original, unpublished articles, fiction, non-fiction, poetry, and visual art that represent current mental health issues and reflect on their impact on individuals.
Maximum manuscript lengths: articles – 15 pages; all other prose – 10 pages; poetry – 10 poems or 10 pages, whichever is less; visual art – 10 pieces.
Reprints and simultaneous submissions (to several magazines) are not considered.
Turnaround time is normally one issue or 6 months: do not send a second submission before the first has been reviewed.
Payment is $50.00 per printed page; $50.00 per published visual art work; and $200.00 for cover art. (Please Note: If artwork is submitted as part of an article, while it contributes to the page count, it is considered as an element of the article, and will not receive separate payment.)
