White Wall Review is the Journal of Creative Writing in the Department of English at Toronto Metropolitan University. Since 1976, we have published bold and necessary fiction, poetry, and non-fiction by emerging and established writers from across North America. 

Artists who find a white wall instinctively wish to cover it with their art. White Wall Review seeks to help them do just that. We welcome all voices and strive to uplift underrepresented content, stories, and truths.
