We're excited to announce that the winner of our 2023 Creative Nonfiction Contest and $2000 prize is Nancy Huggett! Her essay "I am a good mother. I am a bad mother. I am no mother at all" is featured in the upcoming autumn issue of The Fiddlehead (no.301).
Nancy Huggett is a settler descendant who writes, lives, and caregives on the unceded Territory of the Anishinaabe Algonquin Nation (Ottawa, Canada). Find her work in American Literary Review, Prairie Fire, Passages North, and The New Quarterly. She’s won some awards (like RBC PEN Canada’s 2024 New Voices Award) and a gazillion rejections. She keeps writing.
Thank you to all who entered the creative nonfiction contest and congratulations to the fifteen finalists. And thanks again to our judge Lorri Neilsen Glenn!
Keep an eye out for when our autumn issue goes live to read an excerpt from "I am a good mother. I am a bad mother. I am no mother at all."
