The best way to get regular updates on In/Words activities is through our Facebook group!
In/Words Magazine & Press was founded in 2001 by Professor Collett Tracey and a team of her students. It has since evolved into a family of magazines, a chapbook press and a monthly reading series. The editing team consists of Carleton University students and alumni, all of whom are accomplished writers in their own rights.
Three publications run throughout the academic year: In/Words, the flagship magazine; The Moose & Pussy, Canada’s sex-enthusiasts’ journal; and Mot Dit, a french-language literary publication. The In/Words Chapbook Project publishes a series of brief collections of poetry and prose every year. The editing team solicits work from promising writers who appear in the magazine or frequent the weekly writers’ circles.
In/Words strives to be conscious of the traditional importance of small press publishing in Canada. It is very much a local entity that emphasizes hands-on production from the first word to the last staple.

Dear In/Worders,
My name is Candice and I am one of the original handful who founded the lit mag with Colette. It makes me extremely proud to see how the magazine continues to flourish in print and online.
I am not sure what the state of the paper archive is like for In/Words, but I believe I have a full set of print copies for the first two or three years. If anyone is feeling ambitious, it may be interesting to have the full archive online. I would be happy to pass my paper copies along to you.
Colette, I think about you frequently, and hope that you are well.
May the muse be with you all,
Candice
