Nunavut News: Event celebrates Nunavut authors
Story by– Michele LeTourneau
Nunavut’s children’s authors are gaining more and more recognition, but in Nunavut there are no awards like there are in the south and travel costs makes it impossible to get authors around the territory.
“It’s bothered me forever – we’re the only territory or province that doesn’t have a way to award authors and recognize. There’s no book award in Nunavut. Typically, our authors compete in other jurisdictions. This is our way to celebrate them,” said the publishing company’s managing partner Neil Christopher.
