Atlantic Book Awards nominations

The nominees for this year’s Atlantic Book Awards were announced in Halifax today. I’m very pleased to see two collections I edited, Susie Taylor’s Vigil and Allison Graves’s Soft Serve, both published by Breakwater Books, shortlisted for this year’s Alistair MacLeod Prize for Short Fiction. And Vigil has also been shortlisted for the Thomas Raddall Atlantic Fiction Prize. The winners will be named on June 5.
