Soliloquies Anthology 30.1

UPCOMING EVENT: FALL 2025 OPEN MIC FUNDRAISER

!!!SIGN UP BELOW!!!

Step up to the mic and read your creative work for an audience of supportive fellow writers! Read your favourite (or least-favourite, there’s no rules here) poetry, fiction, and creative non-fiction. Gain inspiration from the writers in your community. Buy a drink or three (please). You’ll have the opportunity to do all of this and more at the Soliloquies Anthology Fall 2025 Open Mic!

As well as being an exciting event to connect with your community of writers and readers, this evening will also be dedicated to fundraising for this upcoming edition of Soliloquies Anthology. The money raised through this evening will go directly back into our printing costs, as dramatic changes in our funding will likely impact the size and scope of our upcoming print issue. In short, the more drinks you buy and the more you donate = the larger our page count can be = the better your chances to be published in Edition 30.1!

Date and Time: October 9th at 19:00

Location: Mes Pants De Queer, 2025 Rue Parthenais, Suite 241

Cost of Entry: PWYC ($5 recommended donation)

Past Events

29.2 LAUNCH MAY 22ND: Celebrate the launch of issue 29.2 of  Soliloquies Anthology at Cardinal Tea Room on May 22nd, 7 – Late.

Hear readings from our contributors, along with our two feature readers and former Editor-in-Chiefs, Morgan Gordon and Jade Palmer.

The content in both of our issues this year challenge what it means to take up space. Our prose takes us into the edges of the cosmos, and turns us backwards to focus on our digital reality. Our poetry grapples with questions of intimacy, both in our personal relationships and beyond—from the edges of the clouds, to the Decembers, and the icebox.

We are so excited for the launch, and we hope that you can join us.

OPEN-MIC: THURSDAY MARCH 20TH

BARBOSSA: 3956 A St Laurent Blvd

7:00PM-10:00PM

THEME: SPRING (Theme is loose! No pressure to adhere to it)

FUNDRAISER OPEN-MIC

We are so happy to share that our first event is an open-mic at Librairie De Stiil Bookstore on September 27th, from 19:00 – 22:00 !

Unfortunately, by virtue of the tuition-hikes enacted by the provincial government this past year, Soliloquies Anthology has had a significant decrease in funding.

Despite these challenges, we want to foster a communal literary space — and hopefully fundraise enough to be able to ensure we can provide two issues this upcoming year.
