🚨 Pitch Perfect submissions are open! 🚨
If you have a completed manuscript and you're not sure what to do with it, check out FOLD's Pitch Perfect program. Visit thefoldcanda.org/pitchperfec… for more information!
For our last FOLD reading challenge, we end the year as we began, with the belief in literature’s ability to build bridges, foster empathy, and spark crucial conversations. This month, see my recommendations for books by Congolese and Sudanese authors.
For the last reading challenge of 2024, we're reading books by Congolese and/or Sudanese authors, and we have a total of 8 books to recommend. Visit TheFoldCanada.org/ReadingCha… for the full list.

PUBLISHED: our new Annual Report, "The Things We Could Not Carry", looks at the cost of leaving one’s home, whether planned over weeks and months, or suddenly in the middle of the night.
Am honoured to be part of this beautiful (and now award winning!) anthology.
Guess which anthology won the 2024 IndieReader Discovery Award--Awakenings: Stories of Body & Consciousness!!!! THANK YOU @IndieReader! And so much ❤️❤️❤️ to all contributors, to @gaylebrandeis for the foreword, and to dear Ariana @EmergeJournal!
