Who We Are

Our purpose is three-fold:
- - to provide a community and network of Catholic authors, artists and readers, letting them meet and share ideas
- - to support such authors and artists by publishing their works
- - to engage modern Canadian culture in a dialogue with the rich Classical and Catholic traditions
News
Congratulations, all authors, artists, members of the board and readers – the Alexandrian has now published over two full years’ worth of issues! Who would have thought that several young Catholics, recruited on facebook, would have the potential to put together something this successful? In the Alexandrian, we definitely have a project to be proud of.
We’ve just published our winter issue, yet another collection of short stories, art and poetry from authors across the country (and international).
Our first Open Issue was a success, so this coming summer we will continue to publish works that don’t fit in the themes of the other issues. We’re also continuing a three-part series of issues that take their themes from the theological virtues; we’ve just published “Hope” and are accepting submissions for “Love” in the spring and “Faith” next fall. Join our authors by submitting your own work dealing with these topics!
Currently, we are choosing a board of advisors, a group of Canadian Catholics who have experience publishing their works and who can help us move in the direction of greater effectiveness. If you have any suggestions, or if you would like to be on this board, please contact us.
Next Issue
The upcoming winter publication has kicked off a three-issue series dealing with the theological virtues, beginning with “Hope.” The next issue, for this spring, is on “Love.” Need I say more? Pick up your pen and prepare to impress us with your insight and passion – we’re looking for poetry of course, but also artwork, short stories, and essays.
Send in your submissions by April 1st! Check the How to Submit page for more information. We look forward to meeting new authors and artists.
