Congratulations to the BC publishers and authors who are shortlisted for the 2008 BC Book Prizes.
The full finalist list is available at 12:01 on the brand new BC Book Prizes website.
The BC Book Prizes website is what I’ve been working on for the last couple of months so I’m really pleased to see it live and corresponding to the announcement of the finalists.
And way to go David Chariandy of Soucouyant, Meg Tilly of Porcupine. and Douglas & McIntyre for Fred Herzog: Vancouver Photographs. These were 3 BC books that really stood out for me this year.
Go check out the new BC Book Prizes website. And if you like the new site, give them some link love. The BC Book Prizes are going to be blogging from the road this year.
Each year several authors tour the province, bringing BC books to communities across the province.
Are they coming to a town near you? Check the tour schedule.
And if you’re out of province, follow along with the tour blog.
Fun times! And, there’s some Flickr action happening too.
