Experience the Okanagan Short Story!

​

Debbra Mikaelsen lives in Penticton, where she loves swimming in Okanagan Lake, skate-skiing at Nickel Plate, and puttering around her haphazard, poppy-forward, catnippy garden. A copywriter by trade, she has published a few short—and extremely short—stories over the years, and in March 2024 won first prize at the 26th annual Okanagan Short Story Contest. 

 

Glenna Turnbull is a Kelowna writer, journalist and photographer.  She’s published short stories in many literary journals and is featured in the Best Canadian Stories 2025. She’s been a prize winner and short-listed several times for the Okanagan Short Story contest, short-listed for the Peter Hinchcliffe Fiction Prize with The New Quarterly and also for Event magazine’s speculative fiction contest. She was the winner of Prism International's 2023 Jacob Zilber Short Fiction Award. Her debut novel is forthcoming with Breakwater Books in early 2026.
