Le prochain Comix Jam: mardi 30 août 2011

Bonjour à tous!

N’oubliez pas que le prochain Comix Jam aura lieu mardi prochain, le 30 août prochain à 7.30 PM dans notre repaire habituel du café l’Escalier (en face de la sortie de la rue Ste-Catherine de la station de métro Berri-UQAM) où nous nous délecterons de bière, de nachos et de bédés, bien sûr!

Hello to all!

Don’t forget that the next Comix Jam will be held in our usual lair of L’Escalier (in front of métro Berri-UQAM Ste-Catherine exit) on Tuesday August 30 where we will enjoy beer, nachos and of course comics!

Concours (de dernière minute)

The 15th annual Great Canadian Literary Hunt has begun. For 15 years now This Magazine has surveyed this vast country for the best and brightest in Canadian new fiction and poetry and this year, just to keep things interesting, we’ve added a new category. For the first time, we’ll award a prize for best graphic narrative (think graphic novel, but way shorter).

It’s the same great contest you know and love with great cash prizes, plus publication in an issue of This Magazine and exposure to our nationwide readership that includes top publishers, writers and editors.

Past winners of the Great Canadian Literary Hunt have gone on to be recognized at the National Magazine Awards, the Journey Prize, and the Trillium Book Award; many have been published by the top houses in the country and are among the most exciting talent in fiction and poetry today.

You could be next! Just send your entries by July 4, 2011 and join This Magazine's 45-year tradition of heralding the brightest talents in Canadian letters.

Questions? Just email hunt@thismagazine.ca or visit http://this.org/lithunt for more information.
