Last year, we began the process of creating a digital version of The Fiddlehead with Exact Editions, and we are excited to now have that digital version of the magazine available! 

The Fiddlehead has joined Canadian literary magazines Brick and The Capilano Review on the platform!

Back issues of the magazine are also included going back to 2018 (with more to come). You can purchase a subscription for $22.99 annually or $6.99 quarterly. A subscription includes web, iOS and Android access via Exact Editions apps.

We're excited to announce that the winner of our 2026 Creative Nonfiction Contest and $2000 prize is Patti-Kay Hamilton! Her essay "Clawed Back" is featured in the upcoming autumn issue of The Fiddlehead (no.309).

We would like to inform our readers that our Summer 2026 issue (No. 308) — Disability: The Revolution normally distributed July 15 is unavoidably delayed. The issue is now expected to ship from our printer August 26, which means that once it reaches our office, it will only be shipped to subscribers and newsstands in early September.

We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. Thank you for your understanding and loyal Fiddlehead support.
