Alberta Literary Award Shortlist
May 5, 2019 – I was a little nervous today as I stood to read “Ten Cents A Pound” to a room full of gifted, amazing, and seasoned writers. In the end, I survived and felt really grateful to be among the writers — Jenny keith, Catherine Owen, Wendy McGrath, Thomas Wharton, Kelly Shepherd, Leslie Greentree, Collin Doyle, Shawna Lemay, Fran Kimmel, and Alice Major — shortlisted by the Writers Guild of Alberta for the 2019 Alberta Literary Awards. Can’t believe Ten Cents A Pound is on the shortlist for the R Ross Annett Award for Children’s Literature! Can’t thank Josee Bisaillon enough for her beautiful illustrations.
