~ Our advice column is back with a question about submitting books for publisher consideration.~ We interviewed Josip Novakovich for our final Short Story Month feature and shared an excerpt from his latest collection, Tumbleweed (Vehiculé Press). ~ We looked past Toronto’s moniker “The Big Smoke,” and explored the ravines and forested areas of Toronto in Robert Burley’s An Enduring Wilderness (ECW Press) in this edition of Where in Canada.~ We took a peek at how Michelle Elrick’s blanket fort project inspired her collection then/again (Nightwood Editions) in Under the Cover.

Around the Web

~Unsurprisingly, sci-fi is still male-dominated and Huffington Post.~ But in some good news for women, one book designer’s cover design made it onto protest signs at the Women’s March.~ Do you ever think about how you found your latest book? Ten readers shared their stories via Bustle.

What Else We’re Reading

Mandy warns not to read Christopher Gudgeon’s The Encylopedia of Lies(Anvil Press) on transit unless you don’t mind publicly laughing out loud to yourself.
