Writers' Trust Names Rising Literary Star Brendan Bowles Winner of the RBC Bronwen Wallace Award

The Writers’ Trust's RBC Bronwen Wallace Award for Emerging Writers has an enviably accurate track record of picking out CanLit's rising stars. Last night, they honoured Toronto writer Brendan Bowles as the 2016 prize winner for his short story "Wyatt Thurst".

The award offers a $5,000 prize as well as publicity, mentoring, and encouragement to an unpublished author under the age of 35.

Bowles has already amassed an impressive résumé, having previously won The Toronto Star Short Story Award, been shortlisted for the CBC Canada Writes Short Story Prize, and selected by PEN Canada as a nominee for their New Voices Award.
