The Fiddlehead is pleased to announce the winners of our 27th Annual Literary Contest! Congratulations to our winners! And thank you to all who entered!

We are extending the deadline for submitting to our Creative Nonfiction issue. The response so far has been outstanding; however, that means we are about to reach our monthly Submittable submission limit! To be fair to writers working away on pieces that they intended to submit before the March 31 deadline, we have decided to extend the deadline until midnight on April 4. 

Please share this message widely.

For four years, I studied two separate degrees: creative writing and dance. You can imagine the reactions I would receive as a double fine arts major, and the amount of questions I was asked about the combination of the two. But over the years of studying both, I noticed an overwhelming amount of connections between dance and literature. . . .
