Draft:The New Brunswick Book Awards

  • Comment: The footnotes are not reliable source coverage about the awards. Two are primary sources that are not support for notability, two are blogs that are not support for notability, and the only one that's a reliable source is not about these awards, but about one winner of them, which is not what we need to see.

The New Brunswick Book Awards is sponsored and administered by The Fiddlehead and the Writers' Federation of New Brunswick (WFNB).[1][2] The awards are open to traditionally published and self-published authors who have lived in New Brunswick for three of the previous five years,[2] and are presented in three categories: poetry, fiction and non-fiction.[3]

The inaugural awards were presented at the 2016 Atlantic Book Awards Gala as part of the Frye Festival.[4] The winners were: Poetry – M. Travis Lane, Crossover (Cormorant Books); Fiction – Beth Powning, A Measure of Light (Knopf Canada)[5]; and Non-Fiction – Donald Savoie, What is Government Good At? (McGill-Queen's University Press). The bilingual gala was hosted by Rayanne Brennan of the Writers' Federation of New Brunswick and Philippe Beaulieu, co-founder of the Théâtre de l'Escaouette.[3]
