Exactly 1 yr ago, I announced that I was wrapping up W&C. Listeners responded, hoping for access to a digital archive. Now I’m thrilled that the complete 33-year run -1000 hrs- will be available to anyone, free of charge! CBC has partnered w/ SFU’s Special Collections RareBooks.
The only thing better than publishing one of my favourite stories in the stellar @AQReview is reading all the other fantastic pieces inside. Truly a great read. Highly recommend everyone grab/download a copy!
Honoured to be included once again in the great @3pennyreview. Story available online below, but I highly recommend picking up a copy of this fantastic journal. Many thanks to editor Wendy Lesser.

In 48 years, Room has seen BIPOC-led and 2SLGBTQ led publications, events, and initiatives flourish. Our pages & programming are the most vibrant they've ever been.
But without help from our community, we'll be in trouble this fall.

ALT 1: Overlaid on a pink-tinted graphic of Room magazine issues, black text on a cream background reads: "ROOM needs your help to keep going. For over 48 years, we've been proud to be Canada's oldest feminist literary journal. Our small nonprofit has carved out a space in Canadian literary publishing where underrepresented voices can thrive. It's this community that's kept us going. Now, we need your help."
ALT Overlaid on a pink gradient background, black text on a cream box reads: In 48 years, we've celebrated 188 issues, 2500 contributors, 500 events. But printing and shipping costs and the cost of a living wage is rising. To pay our contributors, editors, and staff equitably ⎯ to keep bringing together readers, writers, publishers, booksellers, and local businesses to celebrate each other and the writing and art at the heart of what we do ⎯ Room needs your support."
Huge thanks to @cbcbooks and the amazing judges Kim Fu, Norma Dunning, and Stephen Price for selecting my story for the 2023 CBC Short Story Story Prize!

Also very old news now, but hey, I only log in here twice a year and back issues are a thing. Many thanks to @TheFiddlehd for publishing my story "After the Crash" in their spring 2022 issue. One of my favourite lit mags and this one's full of great reads. thefiddlehead.ca/issue/291
