The Journey Prize Stories 33: The Best of Canada's New Black Writers David Chariandy

This much-anticipated, game-changing special edition of Canada's premier annual fiction anthology celebrates the country's best emerging Black writers.

For over thirty years, The Journey Prize Stories has consistently introduced readers to the next generation of great Canadian writers. The 33rd edition of Canada's most prestigious annual fiction anthology proudly continues this tradition by celebrating the best emerging Black writers in the country, as selected by a jury comprising internationally acclaimed, award-winning writers David Chariandy, Esi Edugyan, and Canisia Lubrin.  

We are also making an important change to the Journey Prize to make it more equitable. Beginning with this edition, each writer whose story is selected for inclusion in the anthology will be considered a Writers Trust McClelland & Stewart Journey Prize winner and will receive $1,000 CAD.
