Nancy Pearl and Maureen Sullivan just announced the finalists for the Andrew Carnegie Medals and I am happy to say that HarperCollins is proud to be so well represented. Canada by Richard Ford and The Round House by Louise Erdrich both made the short list for Fiction! Other nominees include Junot Diaz for This Is How Your Lose Her, and in the Non-Fiction category, Jill Lepore for The Mansion of Happiness, Timothy Egan for Short Nights of the Shadow Catcher, and David Quamman for Spillover.
Along with the medal presentation on June 30 at ALA’s annual conference in Chicago, each winning author will receive $5,000 and the four finalists will each receive $1,500. More information can be found at the ALA site or you can tune into Twitter for up to the minute comments.
Congrats to all the nominees!
