Join us in celebrating the launch of The Ampersand Review Issue No. 9 on January 27th, 2026 from 6:00-8:00pm at the Mississauga Hazel McCallion Library's Central Branch! Guests will have the opportunity to hear readings from many of our incredible authors, meet the contributors, and pick up their very own copy of our newest issue!

In ninth issue of The Ampersand Review, we showcase a diverse and innovative collection of short stories, poems, and creative nonfiction that highlights writers within the Canadian literary landscape. This issue features an exclusive interview with Anuja Varghese, winner of the 2023 Governor General’s Literary Award.
