We received an especially strong crop of submissions for the 2024 St. Lawrence Book Award. In addition to choosing a winner, we have selected two finalists for publication. Congratulations to Jill Rosenberg who won the competition with the short story collection Now I’m Photogenic and Other Stories I Tell Myself ! And we extend a warm welcome to finalists Arielle Hebert and Katherine Conner who have accepted our offer to publish their titles Bottom Feeders and The Hanged Man, respectively. All three titles that came to us by way of the 2024 St. Lawrence Book Award will be published in the summer of 2026.
