Shortlisted for the Vine Awards for Canadian Jewish Literature!
I opened my email inbox three days ago (I wasn't allowed to announce it until now), and the first thing that jumped out at me was:
"On behalf of the Koffler Centre of the Arts in Toronto, I'd like to congratulate you both on being shortlisted for the 2021 Vine Awards for Canadian Jewish Literature! Catalogue Baby: A Memoir of (In)fertility, was shortlisted in the Non-Fiction category."
You can imagine my surprise and glee when I read those words! It sure did make my day. The Vine Awards winners will be announced this year at an online awards ceremony on November 23rd. If you want to see the full list of shortlisted authors, they will be printed in this Saturday's Globe and Mail newspaper (October 23), so be sure to pick up a copy if you can!
So now cross fingers everyone that Catalogue Baby is the finalist for this wonderful award! To check out the full list of shortlisted books, go to kofflerarts.org/News-Insights/News/The-2021-Vine-Awards-Shortlist
