We are thrilled to have the opportunity to congratulate three former contributors to The Fiddlehead — Kirti Bhadresa, Souvankham Thammavongsa, and Ian Williams — and, Amanda Leduc, the guest editor of our Summer 2026 Disability-Themed Issue (call for submissions here) on being named finalists for the 2025 Giller Prize!
Special congratulations to Kirti Bhadresa whose story "Daksha Takes the Cake" from the collection was originally published in Issue 290 (Winter 2022) BIPOC Solidarities of The Fiddlehead! And to Souvankham Thammavongsa and Ian Williams, who have both published numerous poems in our pages!
