For the 3rd year running, Briarpatch Magazine is looking for fiction and creative non-fiction that “brings to life issues of political, social, and environmental justice.”
It’s my second year coordinating the Writing in the Margins contest and I hope that I’ll get to read even more amazing stories than I did last year. The amazingly talented, Giller-Prize nominated Shani Mootoo (Cereus Blooms at Night, Valmiki’s Daughter) will judge short fiction entries, and Marcello Di Cintio – who won a ton of awards last year for Walls: Travels Along the Barricades, will judge creative non-fiction.
Check out our past winners and then write something yourself!
