Hi, Brian.

Just wanted to let you know that I have had a story included in the Coven of Witches anthology from West Avenue Publishing (“A Cure for a Broken Heart”) and a story published in the spring issue of Peasant magazine (A Loyal Man).  Both of these benefited from feedback provided by members of the Intensive Creative Writing, so thank you all.

I’m looking forward to our retreat in Algonquin Park – coming up fast!

Helen Patterson

Note: Our June retreat in Algonquin is full, but there is still space in the September retreat at Arowhon Pines Resort in Algonquin (here) and in the October retreat at The Briars Resort on Lake Simcoe (here).

Also, we still have room in our classes scheduled for this summer (see here).

Hi, Brian.

My story “Who You Gonna Call” is up now on DarkWinter Press here.

Please feel free to share – much appreciated! 

Also, I just took 2nd place in the Canadian Authors Association, Toronto’s short story contest with “Amphibians.”

Hi, Brian.

I wrote this piece, “Riding the Wave” in a rush for a contest, so I didn’t workshop it with anyone. It did not win but I did manage to get it published in Braided Way.

I credit the development of my writing to your workshop classes.

Hi, Brian.

I wanted to let you know that my novel, Thirty Feet Under, has been included on the shortlist for the Crime Writers of Canada Best Unpublished Crime Novel (commonly referred to as the Unhung Arthur award). Thanks to you and the group for all your help and guidance.

Hi, Brian!

Just wanted to share with you that Prairie Fire accepted the piece “Sweet Scent of Baby Powder” AKA “Lorena“ for publication in their 50 over 50 anthology. It was critiqued in the Wednesday afternoon class.

Feeling inspired!

Evena Gottschalk

Yay, Evena! I know that a few Quick Brown Fox readers are getting published in this upcoming issue of Prairie Fire which will feature 50 writers over 50 years old. It’s now too late to submit for that issue, but Prairie Fire is always open to submissions – and doesn’t usually have an age requirement. For information on submitting to Prairie Fire (and a few other places), see here.

Note: See where else you fellow writers are getting published here (and scroll down).

See all my upcoming weekly writing classes, one-day workshops, and four-day  retreats here.
