TRANSITION

TRANSITION, an annual publication of the Canadian Mental Health Association (Saskatchewan Division) Inc., is edited by Ted Dyck. The author of four books of poetry and numerous periodical publications  crossing many genres, Ted also operates WorDoctor, a writing editing service, and compiles an online literary magazine. A former editor of the literary magazine Grain, he has edited three essay collections and two books of poetry and conducted workshops in fiction, nonfiction and poetry. He is a skilled communicator having worked as a conference organizer and teacher of English for over twenty years in diverse settings such as Marburg University, Germany; Aurora College in  the Northwest Territories; and Red Deer College. Highly regarded by his peers, Ted has won awards for both his writing and his teaching.

TRANSITION publishes two kinds of works: those directly about mental health issues; and those about the individual's personal experience of those same issues. Both kinds of works celebrate lives in transit – lives of change, growth, and transformation. We solicit original, unpublished articles, as well as fiction, non-fiction, poetry, book reviews, and visual art (black and white) that represent current mental health issues in our province and reflect on their impact on individuals.

We especially encourage new and emerging writers to submit their work.

We now accept submissions continuously.
