"Andrea Bishop's stories are wonderfully varied, and swing with verve, wit, and honest emotion. Even in their shortest incarnations they go deep and wide."

          --Zsuzsi Gartner, Giller-Prize shortlisted author of The Beguiling, Better Living Through Plastic Explosives, All the Anxious Girls on Earth, and more.

"In these spirited and tender stories, Andrea Bishop gets to the heart of what it means to be human."

About Andrea's short story Correspondence Rejected:

"The first runner-up, “Correspondence Rejected” by Andrea Bishop, makes smart use of the epistolary form to reveal the many contours of one man’s remorse and rage. The reasons for his rage? Complicated. The story that arises? Textured and full-throated. Bishop rightfully takes advantage of the epistolary’s confessional nature to build a voice-driven narrative that’s as much capricious as it is beguiling as it explores the resonant effects of a single, transformative moment."

About Andrea's short story Cowbird:

"Its originality, its vivid and precise language, and its depth of insight drew and held my attention, inspiring confidence that I was in the hands of a talented writer. Bishop's ability to develop character, weave in research, include humour, and make a profound statement about the human condition makes me excited to see what she can do with a whole novel."
