The Humber Literary Review celebrates diversity and is built upon the idea that a healthy and vital community—artistic or otherwise—is an inclusive one, without barriers or discrimination. We are committed to empowering perspectives from diverse–and equity-seeking groups. This community includes, but is not limited to, multiple dimensions of diversity such as race, ethnicity, national origin, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, ability, age, class, socio-economic status and neurodiversity.

HLR is the creation of Humber College’s Department of English, and its collective includes writers, academics, critics, visual artists, and linguists. Our goal is to share our enthusiasm for work that provokes, excites, and entertains—writing that makes you want to read more.
