THE THOMAS MORTON PRIZE IS BACK!
The Puritan is proud to announce the return of our online literary contest!
The Second Annual Thomas Morton Memorial Prize in Literary Excellence
recognizes the best in fiction and poetry received in 2013. The winners
in the fields of fiction and poetry will each receive a generous prize
package including monetary compensation as well as a collection of books
from 12 of Canada's most celebrated publishers (a mega-boost to the
neglected library).
The winning entries will also appear in The Puritan Issue XXIII: Fall 2013 and be honoured at our launch party, Black Thursday.
Be the second pair of writers to pin the longest literary prize title onto your lists of accolades. Brave the frontier today!
