History
''The Malahat Review'' was founded in 1967 at the University of Victoria by Robin Skelton and John Peter. The magazine was edited by Skelton from 1971 to 1983, and thereafter by Constance Rooke, Derk Wynand, Marlene Cookshaw, and John Barton (editor from 2004 to 2018). The magazine initially represented Skelton's interest in European and international literature, but has focused on Canadian fiction, poetry, and book reviews since 1983. Creative non-fiction was added as another genre in 2007.Structure
''The Malahat Review'' is published by the Faculties of Humanities and Fine Arts, at the University of Victoria. It is overseen by an advisory board and staffed by the editor, assistant editor, marketing and circulation manager, a webmaster, and two Work Study students.
