Nominees[edit]

Adding a note here to indicate that there are sources for 1998 also having an advance shortlist of nominees as in 1999 and later — however, the awards' own website only provides the winner for that year (unlike all years afterward), and Atlantic Canadian newspapers in ProQuest only provide the abstract, so that the text is searchable but not viewable for the purposes of seeing what else it says beyond the abstracted snippets.

The abstracts of both "Local authors short-listed for awards" (The Telegram, April 24, 1998) and "Season for book awards: Canada Book Day brings out the nominations" (Halifax Daily News, April 23, 1998) both indicate that Edward Riche's Rare Birds was also a nominee, but I have not been able to locate other titles that may have been nominated alongside it and the winner, and I cannot find hide nor hair of any googlable source that confirms that year's nominees at all, so I'm leaving this note for further research. This may require a resident of Halifax or St. John's to manually pull one or the other of the articles at the library, unfortunately. Bearcat (talk) 17:24, 19 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
