My stories have appeared in The Malahat Review, The New Quarterly, The Dalhousie Review, The Fiddlehead, Grain, PRISM, Best Canadian Stories 2018 & 2019, Journey Prize Stories 24 and 30 and other publications. I was the winner of the 2018 Journey Prize, and a 2018 National Magazine Award finalist for fiction. I am a two-time Pushcart Prize nominee, and in 2010, was a finalist for the Bronwen Wallace Award. My debut novel, The Family Took Shape (Cormorant, 2013), was a finalist for the Thomas Raddall Atlantic Fiction Award. I have taught creative writing at Dalhousie University and The Johns Hopkins University. I am also the editor of EVENT magazine, and have two books of fiction forthcoming from McClelland & Stewart.
