The “Best First Book” award goes to the first published book by an author. It can be either fiction or non-fiction. In their book, the author has demonstrated that their debut book is not a “one-off”. Indeed, the writing should be so good that the reader is eagerly anticipating their next effort. Here are the three winners for 2020:
- GOLD: Blindshot by Denis Coupal (Fiction, Linda Leith Publishing))
- SILVER: The Imperilled Ocean by Laura Trethewey (Non-Fiction, Goose Lane Publishing)
- BRONZE: Lightness by Fanie Demeule (Fiction, Linda Leith Publishing)
