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 Atlantic Independent Booksellers Readers’ Choice Award, now in its third year but with a brand new name.
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.
Tickets are $25 and are now available.
