Invisible Publishing and Sarah Selecky Writing school have joined forces to produce print editions of the wildly popular Little Bird Stories anthologies. The Little Bird Writing Contest is an international contest for innovative, emerging short fiction writers. The contest opens each spring when the birds come back and showcases the excellent stories that come from Sarah Selecky Writing School. And the anthology collects the top three stories in one perfect, punchy volume.
This year’s contest prompt:
Write a scene in which a character teaches someone how to do something. Describe what it feels like to hold your breath for too long. Don’t use clichés — describe it like you’ve never heard before. Write about a character who has trouble distinguishing his/her left from the right.
Little Bird Stories, Volume 4 includes stories by
- Rachel Ball
- Jill M. Talbot
- Liz Harmer
Proceeds from anthology sales go towards the Pelee Island Bird Observatory and the Prince Edward Point Bird Observatory to help protect the real little birds out there.
