The executive director of the BC &amp; Yukon Book Prizes Sean Cranbury joins Joseph Planta to discuss the finalists for this year’s awards, the change in date due to COVID-19, and more. Text of introduction by Joseph Planta: Iam Planta: On the Line, in Vancouver,British Columbia, at TheCommentary.ca. Three weeks ago, our friends at the BC &amp; Yukon Book Prizes revealed their 2020 shortlist, honouring books published in 2019. The finalists in eight categories for non-fiction, fiction, poetry, children’s literature reflect the region, as it acknowledges the craft and art of publishing, writing and art itself. An April date for the gala was set and just as tickets for the dinner were to be sold, the entire world was consumed by the coronavirus. Events and gatherings have been cancelled due to precautions over COVID-19. But the date for the 36th Annual BC &amp; Yukon Book Prizes is set for Saturday, 19 September 2020 at the Pan Pacific Hotel here in Vancouver. The ceremony will be hosted by CBC Radio’s indominable Shelagh Rogers. Joining me now is the executive director of the BC &amp; Yukon Book Prizes, Sean Cranbury. I’ll get Sean to tell us about the challenges of the last few weeks, as well as the events that have been postponed, a number of terrific events in the community and throughout the region highlighting the authors and their books. Sean was on in December, and we talked at length about my experience last year as a juror. We’ll talk about the process that jurors are now in the midst of as they conduct their deliberations. I’ll also get Sean, an old bookseller, to tell us about how we might get some or all of these finalists as we are confined into isolation by COVID. Visit www.bcyukonbookprizes.com for more information, as well as a list of these distinguished finalists. @seancranbury is the Twitter handle. Please welcome back to the Planta: On the Line program, Sean Cranbury; Mr. Cranbury, good morning.The post Sean Cranbury first appeared on thecommentary.ca.

The executive director of the BC Yukon Book Prizes Sean Cranbury discusses the awards, new awards, the literary community in this town, in British Columbia and the Yukon, and more, with Joseph Planta. Text of introduction by Joseph Planta: I am Planta: On the Line, in Vancouver, British Columbia, at TheCommentary.ca.  Sean Cranbury joins me again. He is the executive director of the BC and Yukon Book Prizes, a post he took up in February of this year. He joins me now to catch up. And with all the activity in his life, I’m happy he’s made the time. He hasn’t been on in seven years. He’s been busy. He founded and continues to produce the Real Vancouver Writers Series, as well as Books on the Radio, the podcast. Sean’s also a freelance writer, website designer, and consultant. He even managed the Storm Crow Alehouse. Visit www.seancranbury.com for more information. The website for the BC Yukon Book Prizes is at www.bcbookprizes.ca. Since 1985, they have been celebrating the achievements of writers and publishers in this part of the world. I had the honour this past year of sitting on the judging panel for the Hubert Evans Non-Fiction Prize. It was a marvelous way to read this region and view it through the books it published in 2018. Perhaps we’ll discuss the process by which books are shortlisted and the winner chosen, as I’ve gotten questions about it. What I want to talk to Sean about though, are the recent changes, including a new award and a returning award. @seancranbury is the Twitter handle.
