[![07 Lieutenant Governor](http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3270/2294461043_9351c7e7c2_m.jpg)](http://www.flickr.com/photos/bcbookprizes/2294461043/)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 (http://www.bcbookprizes.ca/winners).

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.

Each year several authors tour the province, bringing BC books to communities across the province.
