Here are 70 Canadian short stories available free online
Kevin Hardcastle curated this list of stories to read
Kevin Hardcastle is an author from Ontario. His debut short story collection, Debris, won the Trillium Book Award in 2016 and his first novel, In the Cage, came out in 2017. He posted a roundup of short stories to read online on his personal website. This is an updated and adapted version of that original list.
The 2022 CBC Short Story Prize is open, so get inspired by reading a great Canadian short story.
You can also read a story by Hardcastle, Montana Border, that was published by The Walrus.
Why Kevin curated this list
"The past few months have been filled with uncertainty and unforeseen challenges for almost everybody, including those who write, publish and sell literature across the country. Books that were to launch this spring and summer have had to be released into the world without in-person readings and tour appearances. Festivals have had their authors and panellists recreate the experience online, as best they can, and as long as they have enough Internet to make it happen. Publishing houses are trying to find ways to draw attention to new books and voices and some authors have been left to do what they can to promote their work, while at the mercy of an industry scrambling to adapt.
"Nonetheless, people are sharing their own work and the work of writers that they admire. Those who love books have been doing what they can to keep people connected. The Writers' Trust has run online panels and created a fund for writers in need. The FOLD broadcast their festival online and continue on with their webinar series, giving crucial voices a platform. Renowned writers like David Robertson, Heather O'Neill, Vivek Shraya and Waubgeshig Rice have been reading prose and poetry or talking to their readers live on social media. Independent booksellers are delivering books or leaving them curbside so that we can stay home and get lost in those stories for a time.
The writing community I found, and some of the best new writing I read in past years, came as a result of writing, reading, and sharing short fiction.- Kevin Hardcastle
"But literature might still be hard to come by for readers who are unable to afford new books or who are in rural areas without access to booksellers, reliable Internet and, of course, their public libraries.

Help shape the future of CBC article pages by taking a quick survey.
"Luckily, there is a treasure trove of short fiction that has been published in journals over the years, and much of it actually published or archived online. The writing community I found, and some of the best new writing I read in past years, came as a result of writing, reading, and sharing short fiction. So I thought that curating a list of short stories by Canadian, Indigenous and Métis authors would be a fine way to read some literature and to lend support. Many of those on the list have books out recently, or right now, and perhaps this is a way to lead readers further to those.
"Here are some stories by writers you may or may not know, along with stories that have been discovered through the CBC Short Story Prize."
