Sarah Selecky Writing School x Invisible Publishing: Pocket books that celebrate phenomenal writing

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’s daily writing prompts. Each winning story is chosen by a celebrated author and published in a beautiful anthology. 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.
