History
In 2013, Pulp Literature magazine was founded on Bowen Island. The journal's title came from the founding editors’ taste for great storytelling in genre fiction. The word 'Pulp' is an homage to pulp publications such as The Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction, Analog, Ellery Queen, etc., while ‘Literature’ represents the ideal of narrative quality.[3]
