Our Story

pulp MAG is Kwantlen Polytechnic University’s student-run literary and arts magazine. Published tri-annually, it features work generated entirely by writers and artists from Kwantlen and the surrounding communities. Pulp maintains a high standard of quality for its submissions and spotlights a diverse range of sculptors, poets, graphic and fashion designers, authors, painters, comic artists, essayists, playwrights, filmmakers, humourists, satirists, and performance artists. For more information, visit www.pulpmag.ca

pulp MAG acknowledges our work is conducted on unceded ancestral lands of the Kwantlen, Musqueam, Katzie, Semiahmoo, Tsawwassen, Qayqayt and Kwikwetlem peoples. Unceded means this land was never relinquished for use by its peoples; peoples who have yet to receive justice or reparation for their loss of land rights, fishing rights and homelands.

Kwantlen Polytechnic University (KPU) takes its name from the Kwantlen First Nation. We at pulp MAG encourage our readers and community to explore all the ways to further support decolonization; we support the efforts of Indigenous voices.
