An online quarterly, The Toronto Review of Books covers print and e-books, but also anything else that intrigues our writers. We review websites, art, policy, cloud formations, and everything in between. Books are our inspiration, not our limit.
Our podcast brings listeners Toronto talks and panels, and our authors reading their TRB articles, while our blog, Chirograph, posts updates on books, and Toronto’s exploits. From closet dramas in community centres to outdoor film screenings, from literary festivals to illustration shows, from street parties to opera, Chirograph is a hub for quick reports on culture of all kinds.
The TRB aims to be a platform for ideas and perspectives. We’re looking to collaborate, so let us know what you’d like to read about, and what you’d like to write, draw, film, design, or generally articulate.

Subscribing to The Toronto Review of Books is free and entirely email-based. We send subscribers sparing notices of our new issues and our events.
Where to Send Review Copies
We prefer to have books sent directly to our reviewers, so if you’d like to send us a book to consider for review, please first email Jessica Duffin Wolfe to ask where to send it.
Submissions
We are currently accepting submissions for our next issues. If you’re interested in contributing to The Toronto Review of Books, please email the editor, Jessica Duffin Wolfe. Let her know whether you’re interested in writing for our regular issues, Chirograph, or both, and tell her a little about your ideas and writing background. Please try to send along a short writing sample too. We’re also open to submissions in other media, and we’ll publish one to three poems in every issue.
Podcast queries
If you have an event you’d like us to podcast, or if you want to volunteer as a recorder, email our Podcast Coordinator, Sydney Hyatt.
City WIDEN
Our speakers series, City WIDEN (Workshops for Interest, Discussion, Exchange and Novelty), brings together three people from different fields to speak about their experience with a common theme. At each event we’ll partner with like-minded organizations to explore new areas of Toronto. To submit a theme, to offer to speak, to volunteer a location, or to suggest a collaboration, email Jessica Duffin Wolfe. To learn more about the WIDEN series in general, visit www.widentoronto.com.
