Mitchell Toews (), author of ‘Pinching Zwieback’ (At Bay Press 2023), has been nominated for the 2025 McClelland & Stewart () Journey Prize, with his short story, 'All Our Swains Commend Her' (published & nominated by ‘Pulp Literature’) ().

Toews says that, “The story, ‘All Our Swains Commend Her’, takes its title from Shakespeare and concerns an unhoused person making an unapologetic living on the mean streets of Winnipeg in January. Two daily commuters enjoy a strange but kindred relationship with her until one morning, the rift between them is uncomfortably revealed. The story is one of approximately 140 pieces (44 in Canada) that I have had published since I began writing fiction in 2016, plus the 20 in ‘Pinching Zwieback’ (At Bay Press 2023). I also have four Pushcart Prize nominations among my submissions. And over 700 rejections!”

November 6 marked the inaugural launch of Erna Paris’ ‘Hunting History: A Writer’s Odyssey’, which took place at Ben McNally Books () in Toronto, ON. A wonderful turn-out made for an even more wonderful launch, and Hosts Roland and Michelle Paris (Erna’s children) both delivered heartfelt and brilliant readings of their mother’s book.

Pick up a copy of ‘Hunting History: A Writer’s Odyssey’ at your local bookstore; or, visit our website!

“’Hunting History: A Writer’s Odyssey’ is an unforgettable journey through time, memory, and the enduring power of storytelling. From an unexpected visit to a N**i death camp to gripping encounters with perpetrators of atrocities, their victims, determined activists, and wily propagandists, award-winning author Erna Paris takes readers on a deeply personal exploration of how history is remembered, manipulated, and lived.

Blending investigative journalism with memoir, Paris traces a lifelong quest to understand the psychological and cultural forces that shape the best and worst of human behavior—its triumphs and its darkest impulses. In this, her final work, she delivers a profound and urgent meditation on truth, justice, and the writer’s role in illuminating the past to guide the future.”
