The Journey Prize Anthology presents the best new Canadian writers from coast to coast. Many of today’s high-profile writers had early work in this anthology, including André Alexis, David Bergen, Dennis Bock, Elizabeth Hay, Elise Levine, Timothy Taylor, and M.G. Vassanji. The final selection to appear in the anthology will be made from a total of 85 stories, submitted by the editors of literary journals across the county.

Editorial Reviews
“The Journey Prize Anthology represents the haunting pulse of the country’s literary heartbeat.”

“Even for a country used to superb short story writers like Margaret Atwood, Alice Munro, and Mavis Gallant, this is impressive stuff.”
