Friday, November 28 witnesses another trifecta of Puritan milestones. Join the editors, staff, and readers of The Puritan for our now annual event!

BLACK FRIDAY 2014 is a night of celebrations to honour the winners of our Third Annual Thomas Morton Memorial Prize in Literary Excellence, judged by Margaret Atwood and Zsuzsi Gartner and announced in November, for both fiction and poetry. Help us congratulate our winners and runners-up in grand style.

Secondly, BLACK FRIDAY 2014 sees the electronic launch of Issue 27: Fall 2014—a wicked collection of fiction, poetry, and journalism to end a great calendar year.

Thirdly, and to usher in the glad tidings and the bountiful work published since January, certain authors whose work and opinions were published in 2014 will be providing short (short) live readings. These writers (so far) include:

Jonathan Bennett

Andrew Forbes

Helen Guri

Amy Lavender Harris

Stevie Howell

Kathryn Kuitenbrouwer

Pasha Malla

Robert McGill

Shawn Micallef

Jay MillAr

Sarah Pinder

Jenny Sampirisi

Stephen Thomas

Liz Worth

This is a must-see night of literary entertainment. Come for the VERY cheap drinks, free munchies, an awesome raffle, and gnarly tunes. We so hope you’ll help us warm the spacious Loft 404 gallery on November 28th. Celebrations!
