Events celebrate the launch of Atlantic Canada's The Deep long-form online magazine

After almost a year of planning, the Nova Scotia launch is about to happen for The Deep Magazine, Atlantic Canada's online publication featuring long-form journalism. The official launch party is to be on Tuesday, September 12, 7 - 10 pm at the Lot Six Bar & Restaurant on Argyle Street in Halifax. It follows an August 24 launch in Fredericton, New Brunswick at 7 pm at The Picaroons Roundhouse.

The Deep was announced last September and a crowdfunding campaign successfully reached $18,500 after shooting past its $15,000 target and has now raised $19,038  from 321 backers in order to launch the online, long-form journalism site for Atlantic Canada. The venture will start by publishing one big story a month in 2017: "sweeping, ambitious, can't-put-them-down Atlantic stories that will stand toe-to-toe with the best magazine writing and reporting found anywhere."
