Congratulations and best of luck to the three individuals who have been nominated by carte blanche for the 2020 Writers’ Trust McClelland & Stewart Journey Prize: Maria Camila Arias, Tasnuva Hayden, and Alonso Gamarra!

The Writers’ Trust McClelland & Stewart Journey Prize recognizes the year’s best short story by an emerging writer first published in a Canadian literary journal or anthology. The prize is supported by James A. Michener’s donation of his Canadian royalty earnings from his novel Journey. In association with the prize, McClelland & Stewart annually publishes The Journey Prize Stories anthology, a collection of the longlisted stories. The winner is announced at the Writers’ Trust Awards in Toronto. Read more about the Journey Prize here.
