Congratulations to Pawan, Joan, Natalie, and Evelyn!

Hi, Brian.

You have always inspired me in my writing.  Guess who is on the CBC Nonfiction longlist for the short story: “Is Life a Tossed Salad?” 😄

I am thrilled and honoured to have my story longlisted. There were over 1,400 submissions. 30 stories were selected for the longlist. 

Warmest regards,

Evelyn N. Pollock

Update: Evelyn’s not just on the longlist – she’s now a finalist! Which means she’s already won a $1,000 prize, and her story has been published on the CBC website. Read about Evelyn’s prize, her bio, and her essay, “Is Life a Tossed Salad?” here.

Also, if you’re interested in entering the CBC Short Story Contest, you still have time. You’ll find details of the CBC contest and a few other great places to send your short pieces here.

 

Hi, Brian.

I hope you had a great summer and all is well. I wanted to share with you that another short fiction piece of mine is published! I started writing A Long Walk Through the Tall Dry Grass in one of your classes. It went by a different title then and the story wasn't as developed, but with some further work, I was quite happy with the outcome. 

It has found the perfect home with NüVoices, an international editorial collective supporting women and other underrepresented voices on the subject of China. 

Once again, thanks for providing such great classes for writers.

Natalie

P.S. I write under the name N.J. Chan now. I thought Natalie J. Chan was a bit too much of a mouthful! 

You can read Natalie’s story on NüVoices here, but even better, I’ve republished it with fabulous images on Quick Brown Fox here.

For information about submitting to NüVoices and a few other great places to send your short pieces (including the CBC Short Story Contest), see here.

Hi, Brian.

Just wanted to reach out to you and thank you for all your teachings and help!! My story was published in the Globe and Mail. The one about the Peony. Thank you for helping me with the editing process.

Take care.
