Book Awards Shortlists Announced

The ceremonies for the Nova Scotia and Atlantic Book Awards both take place during the weeklong Atlantic Book Festival, May 30 to June 5. The festival features a range of online and in-person events with the authors shortlisted for the provincial and regional awards, which collectively are worth more than $55,000. The shortlisted books are selected by independent juries for each award; however, it’s the general public who will determine the winner of the new Reader’s Choice Award.
