This month, the Goose Lane Editions team is honoured to see ten of our books shortlisted for individual accolades from the Atlantic Book Awards, the Nova Scotia Book Awards, the New Brunswick Book Awards, the Manitoba Book Awards, and the League of Canadian Poets.
Many facets of our catalogue are represented in these shortlists, ranging from fiction, to non-fiction, art history, and poetry, and we’re tremendously proud to see these titles recognized at the highest regional and national levels. Our commitment to publishing groundbreaking literature for diverse readerships has always been our guiding light as Canada’s longest-running independent publisher, and now, we’re here to celebrate the success of our authors.
We will be rooting for our shortlisted authors at the upcoming award announcements – the New Brunswick Book Awards on June 4, the Nova Scotia Book Awards on June 6, and the Atlantic Book Awards and Manitoba Book Awards on June 9 – and we hope you do, too.
