Journey Prize

The Journey Prize is a Canadian literary award, presented annually by McClelland and Stewart and the Writers' Trust of Canada for the best short story published by an emerging writer in a Canadian literary magazine.

The award was endowed by James A. Michener, who donated the Canadian royalty earnings from his 1988 novel "Journey". The prize's winner in 2000, Timothy Taylor, was also the first writer ever to have three stories make the prize's shortlist in the same year.

The Journey Prize also publishes an annual anthology of short stories.
