Hi, Brian.

I hope this email finds you well.

I took a workshop with you several years ago. While I stepped away from writing for a bit, I continued to receive your emails and appreciate the helpful resources.

I am so happy to share that I recently received Honourable Mention in Off Topic Publishing’s short-story writing contest.

You can read my story, The Pot Roast Trials” here.

I wanted to thank you as I learned about such contests through your emails. Very helpful and much appreciated!

All the best,

Lucky Kalsi

Good morning, Brian.

I just got this email.

Can you see me jumping up and down in glee?

Hi, Brian.

Here's an update for your newsletter - and thanks!

My personal essay, “I'm NOT Goldilocks,” was the winner of the 2024 Cambridge Festival of the Arts Literary Contest. My reading was filmed, and I was interviewed by Conestoga College for a future television airing.

Also, my story “Amphibians,” was a winner in the Canadian Authors Association (Toronto) Short Story Contest. An Anthology will be published in 2024 to celebrate the winning poems and short stories.

Hope you have a great summer! 

All the best,

Sharon Frayne

P.S. Thanks for a great course! I really enjoyed the Wednesday afternoon Intensive class and loved the other participants and the opportunity to see their work.

Hi, Brian.

Wishing everyone a Happy Canada Day weekend!

Lat week I received the news that my short story, “If Only” was selected as the FIRST PLACE WINNER in the Memoir Category in the Canadian Legion Literary Writing Contest. (As you know, that story is now called “Full Circle.”) I’m thrilled. Some positive news is always great.

See you in a class in September, and have an awesome safe summer.

Cheers and hugs,

Sue Kelly
