Congratulations!

Congratulations to the following Fernwood authors on their recent award nominations and wins!

EL JONES wins the EVELYN RICHARDSON NON-FICTION AWARD with the NOVA SCOTIA BOOK AWARDS for Abolitionist Intimacies

The jury citation: "Abolitionist Intimacies turns purposely woven structure and skillfully crafted poetry and prose into one carefully braided dance. The personal narrative becomes the collective struggle, and the unbelievable becomes the unforgettable. El Jones packs meaning into every word and phrase, intertwined with unwavering undertones of cultural genocide, Black annihilation, and the institutionalized trauma that continues to smother and suppress a people and their intimate and necessary cultural connections. Abolitionist Intimacies calls out and confronts societal realities with a narrative that is authentic and honest. The book’s messages embed themselves deep into a reader’s bones and mind and soul."

JORDAN HOUSE and ASAF RASHID win the LEO PANITCH BOOK PRIZE for the best book in Canadian work and labour studies for Solidarity Beyond Bars

SUSAN BOYD is shortlisted for Mary Scorer Award for Best Book by a Manitoba Publisher with the Manitoba Book Awards for Heroin: An Illustrated History

JACKIE TRAVERSE is shortlisted for the Manuel Dias Book Design Award for Illustration with the Manitoba Book Awards for Resilience: Honouring the Children of Residential Schools

Love,

the Fernwood team
