Calling all writers from the Tri-Cities, Burnaby and New Westminster.
We’ve got a new feature for our digital platforms called Sunday Night Read.
The series will highlight short stories — fiction or non-fiction — from readers in our three jurisdictions.
Up to 2,500 words, you can tell us an original, unpublished story about a recent trip, a family visit or an event gone wrong, for example.
Creative submissions from emerging and professional authors are welcome.
There is no cost to enter.
No prizes will be handed out; however, the writer’s website and social media handles will be published upon request to promote their craft.
Please forward short stories for consideration to [email protected].
Accepted works will be published online Sundays at 4:45 p.m. on the Tri-City News, Burnaby NOW and New Westminster Record.
Be sure to include:
- your name
- your city
- the story title
- a photo to complement the story
- your public contact and social media information (optional)
We reserve the right to copy edit all entries based on the Canadian Press Stylebook.
