Congratulations Grace!

Each of the writers submitted short fiction to qualify for the award, named for the late Kingston, Ont.-based author Bronwen Wallace, who was a mentor for many young writers.

The finalists are:

* Marjorie Celona, 27, of Victoria, for Othello. She has a degree in creative writing from the University of Victoria and is studying at the Iowa Writers’ Workshop.
* Ben Lof, 29, of Edmonton, for When in the Field with Her at His Back. He has a master’s degree from the University of Alberta.
* Grace O’Connell, 23, of Toronto, for The Bottlenecks. She has been published in Strong Words 2 and Lichen Arts & Letters Preview.

My very good, and ultimate “girl advice”, friend Grace has been nominated for this year’s “Bronwen Wallace Award for Emerging Writers”. She saved me from a intestinally-impaired girl in a CanLit class at Queen’s University, and for that I am eternally grateful.
