welcome, I’m Hilary…

…an award-winning essayist, short story writer, and aspirational poet living and working near the shores of Lake Huron in Ontario, Canada.

My writing has been published in The New Quarterly, Event Magazine, The Amy Anthology, The Good Life Review, Third Street Review, and is forthcoming in Prairie Fire Magazine.

My creative non-fiction won the 2024 Event Magazine Non-Fiction Contest (excerpt here; interview here). My essays have been an honourable mention in the Edna Staebler Creative Non-Fiction Prize and shortlisted for the CNFC/Humber Literary Review prize. In 2021, I won the inaugural Amy Award for Memoir.
