Two local authors have been short-listed for Manitoba Book Awards. Loraine Trudeau, head librarian at Jake Epp Library in Steinbach says Jane Heinrichs is short-listed for best illustrated book of the year for her book "Magic At The Museum." Miriam Toews is also short-listed for the McNally Robinson book of the year award for "The Flying Troutmans." Trudeau says Toews and Heinrichs were selected from hundreds, if not thousands of Manitoba authors. She adds it is very exciting to have two local talents considered for Manitoba Book Awards. Trudeau tells us the winners will be named Sunday at a gala held at the Winnipeg Art Gallery. She notes it is an honour just to be short-listed and winners will walk away with money. |
