It’s the 6th volume of the Little Bird Stories!

Invisible Publishing and Sarah Selecky Writing school have joined forces to produce print editions of the wildly popular Little Bird Stories anthologies. The Little Bird Writing Contest is an international contest for innovative, emerging short fiction writers. The contest opens each spring when the birds come back and showcases the excellent stories that come from Sarah Selecky Writing School. And the anthology collects the top three stories in one perfect, punchy volume.

The contest prompts: Write a list titled “Things I have cleaned.” Describe the hands of a person you love. Write a scene in layers, like an onion.

Little Bird Stories, Volume 6 includes stories by Laurie-Myers Bishop, Suzanne Biro, and Lindsey Smith.

Proceeds from anthology sales go towards the Pelee Island Bird Observatory and the Prince Edward Point Bird Observatory to help protect the real little birds out there.

SARAH SELECKY’s breakout debut collection, This Cake is for the Party, was a finalist for the Scotiabank Giller Prize, was shortlisted for the Commonwealth Writers’ Prize for Best First Book, and was longlisted for the Frank O’Connor International Short Story Award. Her stories have been published in The Walrus, Elle Canada, The New Quarterly, and The Journey Prize anthology, among other publications. She is also the creator of the beloved online creative writing school (and MFA alternative) Story Is A State of Mind.
