« The Festival of Literary Diversity Kids Bookfest: After Hours – Getting Reel with Adam Garnet Jones [15+]
Eden Mills Writers’ Festival – Kids: Hatch, an event for schools! »

Join us for a festive evening celebrating our region’s finest authors.

CBC Radio’s Gregor Craigie will host readings by authors shortlisted for this year’s Victoria Book Prizes. The event will conclude with the awarding of the City of Victoria Butler Book Prize ($5,000) and the City of Victoria Children’s Book Prize ($5,000).

New format, but the same great talent! Listen to writers read from their nominated books, and raise a glass to the winners with a cocktail or mocktail created by Rebecca Wellman. Finalists and cocktail recipes will be announced at www.victoriabookprizes.ca.
