A great conversation with Sarah Pratt on her novella They’re All Named Poppy

08/03/2025

Join our Chief Editor, Lexie Angelo, at When Words Collide in Calgary Aug 15-17, 2025. She will be reading from the Live Action Slush Pile for short fiction (our fav!) so make sure to get your pass before they sell out 😎

Also, check out her 90 min workshop on writing liminal spaces and emotionally engaging with place. It will be haunting, eerie, imaginative and full of writing exercises.
