TNQ’s 2018 Peter Hinchcliffe Short Fiction Award Longlist

The New Quarterly (TNQ) is committed to providing a space for both established and emerging writers, but the Peter Hinchcliffe Short Fiction Award is designed specifically for new writers.

The Peter Hinchcliffe Short Fiction Award is sponsored by the St. Jerome’s University English Department. The contest honours the distinguished St. Jerome’s professor, Peter Hinchcliffe, who served as co-editor at TNQ in the magazine’s early years.
