EDITOR & PUBLISHER
CALLAGHAN’S EDITORIAL CAREER actually began while he was an undergraduate student at St. Michael’s College, the University of Toronto, in 1959, when he edited, printed by hand, and distributed among students, four issues of a journal which he called The Chorus. It was devoted to fiction and poetry. In 1966, the year that he began writing regularly for the Telegram, he also began his career as a professional editor, editing the weekly Books page that featured not only new and unknown critics, but writers like Irving Layton, James T. Farrell, Marian Engel, Arthur Koestler, and Mordecai Richler. In 1972, he founded EXILE A LITERARY QUARTERLY. To this day, he remains as Editor in Chief of that Journal.
