About the Journal

Pivot is an online literary and academic journal published annually by members of York University’s English Graduate Student Association.

 

To pivot is to turn upon a fixed point; a pivot itself offers stability in the midst of constant change. Our journal is at once a place of inevitable motion, capturing the changing tides of language in a tumultuous world, and a place of constant strength, providing a centre for crucial discussions on literature and the experiences of those who engage with it.

 

We accept submissions ranging from fiction and poetry to critical essays and literary non-fiction. All stories from all cultural and academic backgrounds are welcome at Pivot, and our aim is to foster an interdisciplinary space for creativity and thought that is open to all. Whether you are a literary scholar or have just picked up your pen for the first time, whether you have publications to your name or have just discovered your new favourite writer, we want to hear from you.

 

Thank you for your interest in Pivot, and we look forward to you joining our community.
