More Grain Congrats!
We are delighted to congratulate Krista Foss whose story "The Longitude of Okay" has been selected to appear in the prestigious Journey Prize Stories 22, available in stores September 28.

The Writers' Trust of Canada will announce the finalists for this year's Journey Prize on September 29, and the winner will be announced as part of the WTC's annual awards event, currently scheduled for November 2, 2010 in Toronto.
