I entered an unpublished short story, "Holiday Justice," in the University of Toronto Magazine's Alumni Short Story contest. To be eligible you must not have had a book of your short stories published and you must have attended U of T.
Today they called to tell me it had been accepted for the "longlist" from which a "shortlist" will be chosen to determine the winner in September. So I made the first cut.
The first prize winner receives money and publication, and I think the next four runner ups are also published. If I get published there, that will mark two short stories published in Canada and two in the United States. So I would make up in internationalism what I seem to lack in fecundity.
