I was thrilled to receive a grant from the Conseil des arts et des lettres du Québec this fall to compile my short story collection, “Alone in the World.” (The title sounds depressing, but there will be a lonely laugh or two in there amongst the tears.) I’ll be spending the next few months finishing the book while sending out individual stories for publication in literary journals.

To that end, I’ve again updated my Canadian LitMag List, which I’ve linked to below. It has 55 journals listed with their submissions openings, word count limits, payment offerings, and notes on where to read sample copies. Check it out.

I’m pleased to announce that my latest short story, “Welcome to the Margins,” will be featured in The Humber Literary Review this fall. I’ll post and boast more here when it’s out.

And while I’m on the topic of short stories… I’m honoured to be asked to return as a judge of the Ottawa Public Library’s Awesome Authors youth writing contest this year, and I look forward to reading short stories by local talent in the months to come. The contest launches in December, when I’ll post more about it here.

In the meantime, if you’re looking for a litmag to publish your latest story, check out my list, linked below. Good luck!
