From writer, artist and philanthropist, Gloria Vanderbilt, who sponsors
one of the largest literary prizes in Canada, and who supports this
unique Canadians-only short fiction publication. "I am proud and
thrilled that all these wonderful writers are presented in the CVC
Anthology. Carter, my son, Anderson Cooper's brother, was just 23 when
he died in 1988. He was a promising editor, writer, and, from the time
he was a small child, a voracious reader. Carter came from a family of
storytellers, and stories were a guide which helped him discover the
world."
