About FreeFall
FreeFall is a literary magazine based in Calgary. In 2008 Micheline Maylor and Lynn C. Fraser took over publication of the magazine and created the FreeFall Literary Society of Calgary, a non-profit group.
Today, FreeFall publishes two issues a year with one issue dedicated to the Annual Prose and Poetry Contest.
We publish poetry, fiction, non-fiction, literary reviews, author interviews and visual arts.
Our mandate has been to encourage the voices of new, emerging and established Canadian writers while providing a platform to be proud of for their quality work. We accept submissions all over the world for our Annual Prose and Poetry Contest; however, we maintain a commitment to Canadian content for general submissions.
