Canada's longest living literary journal, The Fiddlehead is published four times a year at the University of New Brunswick, with the generous assistance of the University of New Brunswick, The Canada Council for the Arts, and the Province of New Brunswick.
First published in 1945, The Fiddlehead is known as a WHO'S WHO in Can. Lit. Many - now well-known - writers have found their first home in our pages, and they, as well as some of our editors and assistants, go on to win awards and prizes across the country.
Do not look at this journal as old! It is experienced; wise enough to recognize excellence; always looking for freshness and surprise.
We publish short stories, poems, book reviews, and a small number of personal essays.
Our full-colour covers have become collectors items, and feature the work of New Brunswick artists.
The Fiddlehead sponsors an annual writing contest and awards two prizes of $1,000 each.
