Congratulations to Optional Residency MFA Alumna Deirdre Dore, winner of the 2015 Journey Prize for her story “The Wise Baby” published in Geist. The jury wrote:
“The storytelling offers sprawling pleasures, including dead-on dialogue, a cast of strangely compelling beautiful losers, and an imaginative and original voice the reader will return to with pleasure.”
Congratulations also to Anna Ling Kaye (MFA) for placing as a finalist for her story “Red Egg and Ginger” from Prairie Fire.
