CHOICE WORKS
Volume Fifteen
The Collected Works
September 2006–April 2010

The Canadian Writer's Journal short fiction contests provided a venue for mainstream short fiction writing. Those winning stories we have enjoyed so much are collected in this paperback edition. For an annual updated list of writing competitions in Canada, please see The Canadian Writers' Contest Calendar.

Entries were numbered upon arrival, and the identities of the authors are unknown until the judging decisions have been made. Then, and only then, are the authors' names matched back to their works. The winning fiction pieces from each contest are collected into this book entitled Choice Works This copy of Choice Works is Volume 15. All these winners have received a copy, if we could track them down.
