About Us

What is Archetype?

Archetype is a Toronto-based literary journal that strives to publish creative work—essays, poetry, fiction, interviews, reviews—that reminds us of what it’s like to be made of flesh. The journal is committed to being a platform for both emerging and established writers and artists to tell stories that celebrate life, explore human connection, and investigate the idea of being alive. Ultimately, our goal is to publish work that is honest, real, and illuminating.
