The Journey Prize Stories 25 (2013) - Plot & Excerpts
Particularly when you’re just starting out, being accepted in an anthology – an actual book instead of a magazine, something with a spine, something that people might buy in a bookstore – feels like donning a tiara. But it wasn’t until I sat on the Journey Prize jury myself, fourteen years later, that I realized how tough the competition is, how many stories are submitted, and how many good ones aren’t included for lack of space or jury consensus. If I’d known this back then, I probably wouldn’t have settled for that tiara feeling. I’d have gone around with the darned book strapped to my head.” –Caroline Adderson “The Journey Prize anthology does many things: it gives affirmation to a work, it piques the interest of agents and publishers, but most importantly, it creates an opportunity for emerging writers to be recognized and it supports our Canadian literary magazines. It searches out fresh and daring voices trying to gain ground and gives them a boost. We need The Journey Prize Stories now more than ever.”
