The Atlantic Book Awards Gala celebrates authors and books from the four Atlantic provinces with the presentation of a number of awards, including:
- Ann Connor Brimer Award for Atlantic Canadian Children’s Literature
- APMA Best-Published Book Award
- J.M. Abraham Atlantic Poetry Award
- Thomas Raddall Atlantic Fiction Award
As well, we’ll present the Atlantic Legacy Award, presented to an Atlantic Canadian “who has made a lasting contribution to the development of the literary arts in our region,” and the Readers’ Choice Award, now in its third year.
We’re pleased to have Portia Clark as our emcee!
The gala takes place Thursday, June 4, 7 pm, at Paul O’Regan Hall, Halifax Central Library.
