Atlantic Book Awards Gala

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!

Tickets are $25 and are now available.
