On the first night of the Saskatchewan Festival of Words, held in Moose Jaw, SK, there were readings and commentaries in what the festival described as a “Read-ception” at the Mosaic Conference Centre. Several other writers also featured at the festival offered some short excerpts of their writing.

The Great Escape, the bestselling history title from acclaimed broadcaster,  military historian, and author Ted Barris, was honoured at this week's Libris Award ceremony, sharing the award for Best Non-Fiction Title with Chris Hadfield’s  An Astronaut’s Guide to Life on Earth.

Dundurn is pleased to announce that it has been longlisted for this year’s Libris Award in the Publisher of the Year category and Ted Barris’s The Great Escape has been longlisted in the Non-Fiction Book of the Year category.

For all that the new year has just started, there are already a ton of things happen here at Dundurn! 5 new books arrived today at our office:

Lives of Magic by Lucy Leiderman

Dead Brilliant by Christopher Ward

Wow, it’s Hallo-week already, and tomorrow the streets will be filled with ghosts and goblins galore. There’s nothing spooky about our media highlights though, so take a break from carving pumpkins and practicing your zombie walk to hear about what our authors have been up to this week!

After a little over a month as Dundurn's intern, I am realizing that there is never going to be a week where our authors and staff aren't busy, so I will refrain from saying it's been another busy week here from now on. Take it as a given! With that said, our weekly media highlights are gathered together once more, so take a moment and catch up on what we've been (very) busy with.
