them find community and confidence while opening doors for future opportunities. Listen as

Jenna Morton talks with Thomas Chamberlain, who turned an Honourable Mention into a 2 nd

place and a book deal for his debut novel, Happenstance, followed by Teresa Wu, the 2024

winner of the Sheree Fitch Prize, who credits the WFNB for kickstarting a love of sharing her

writing with the world.
