CBC Short Story Prize – Reader

Wayne is so pleased to be among a group of talented writers reading for the 2024 CBC Short Story Prize longlist.

Every year, CBC Books enlists the help of established writers and editors from across Canada to read the thousands of entries submitted to our prizes.

The readers compile the longlist, which is given to the jury. The jury will then select the shortlist and the eventual winner from the longlisted selections.

The 2024 CBC Short Story Prize is currently accepting submissions until Nov. 1, 2023.

The winner will receive $6,000 from the Canada Council for the Arts, have the opportunity to attend a two-week writing residency at The Banff Centre and have their work published on CBC Books.
