We just heard that the 2026 gritLIT Short Story Contest is now open!

They are accepting original fiction or nonfiction pieces of up to 500 words. The contest theme is truth-telling, and they encourage writers to use their creative freedom when interpreting this theme.

The entry fee is $15, and submissions will close on January 15, 2026. There are three cash prizes, but all winners will be invited to read at gritLIT 2026 in April, and winning stories will be published on the website.It's a staged contest and more details can be found at gritlit.ca/contest.

Looking for a special holiday gift for that reader or writer on your list? Or maybe that person that loves beautiful photography? Look no further than the Sudbury Writer’s Guild’s most recent anthology, Sudbury Superstack: A Changing Skyline.

This beautiful book is filled with gorgeous images and evocative reflections on one of Sudbury’s historic landmarks. Delve deep as locals explore ideas and memories of the Stack before demolition began.

Copies are available for $25 at the Art Gallery of Sudbury, Books & Beans, Bay Used Books, Seasons Pharmacia and Science North.

We’re undergoing the process of digitally archiving old Guild files. There’s stuff here all the way back to the 90’s when the SWG started. We’ll post some of the interesting finds in a post.
