The Malahat Review

2007 Far Horizons Award for Short Fiction Aspire to pick up Robin Skelton's pen! The 2007 Far Horizons Award for Short Fiction has a unique tie-in with the special issue that The Malahat Review will publish in honour of its co-founder, the late Robin Skelton, in Fall 2007 as part of the magazine's 40th-anniversary celebrations. Notes for three of his never-completed story ideas were recently found among his papers. Entrants are to choose one of the three ideas and write a story extrapolated from Skelton's notes, which are posted on the magazine's website. One prize of $500 is awarded, plus payment of $30 (CAD) per printed page upon publication. The winning entry will be published in the Skelton special issue. Eligible writers have yet to publish their short fiction in book form and may submit one story (not exceeding 3500 words) per entry. For full guidelines, story ideas, entry fee information, and mailing address, go to www.malahatreview.ca/farhorizonsfiction.
