# Writers Round-Up

Lisa Moore wins regional Commonwealth Prize: (http://www.cbc.ca/story/arts/national/2006/01/27/moore-commonwealth-award.html)

“Canadian writer Lisa Moore’s debut novel Alligator has been named best book for the Caribbean and Canada region, making it a finalist for the 2006 Commonwealth Writers’ Prize.”
