English Language Finalists for the Trillium Book Awards

ECW Press for Idaho Winter, written by Tony Burgess, author of Pontypool Changes Everything and Ravenna Gets.

The Literary Press Group is teaming up with almost two dozen independent bookstores across the country this spring to highlight LPG member publishers' books in their stores. The booksellers have curated a list for their customers from our wide selection of Canadian independently published books that they will feature in their store in a special "Think Indepedent: Independent Books for Independent Minds" display for a month.

This month Mosaic Books in Kelowna, BC has set up their display of new LPG titles! Check out their website for all the titles they are featuring or, if you're in the area, check them out in person!

Congratulations to Invisible Publishing and Jonah Campbell on the Taste Canada nomination for Food & Trembling in the Culinary Narratives category!

Food & Trembling approaches eating not with a four-figure expense account, but a rare insight and fierce appetite for the pleasures of the table. Also chips. Too many chips. This collection of writing by Jonah Campbell—metalhead, misanthrope, unrepentant good eater—explores the both the finest and most furtive of culinary pleasures.

Check out the Taste Canada website for a full list of the nominees or the Invisible Publishing website for more info on Food & Trembling.
