A local Lloydminster paper, The Meridian Booster, interviewed me for my winning story in Geist! I’m very flattered and want to thank Graham Mason for taking the time to talk to me.

interviewed for geist short story
Wednesday, January 21st, 2009first prize in geist’s short long distance fiction contest
Saturday, January 10th, 2009Happy 2009, folks. This has to be my favorite way to ring in the new year: my short short story The Other James Buchanan won a first prize in Geist Magazine’s first annual short long-distance fiction contest. It will also be in print in the next issue of Geist. It’s my first publication, so I’m psyched.
Enjoy!

interview with mary schendlinger
Friday, February 8th, 2008Mary Schendlinger, the Senior editor of Geist Magazine, cartoonist, instructor at UBC, The Writer’s Studio and editor, talks with Kootenay Co-operative Radio (scroll down to show #35) about types of editing, the sort of writing Geist buys, how to find an editor, and the term “creative non-fiction.”
Mary teaches Getting Published at TWS, which is a fantastic class that really can’t recommend highly enough as an introduction to editing, literary agents, Canadian and American publishing and a lot more.
