TRILLIUM BOOK AWARD / PRIX TRILLIUM

June 13, 2019 | This year’s Trillium Award nominees reveal a wealth of stories from meditations on the act of writing, to powerful feminist narratives, to the fantastical, to tales of resilience in the face of struggle. Whether established or emerging literary figures, these Ontario authors are brave and bold. They are keen observers and dreamers in a changing world.

HISTORY

Ontario Creates produces the Trillium Book Awards each year. The Ontario government established the Trillium Book Award in 1987 to recognize the literary excellence and diversity of Ontario writers and writing. The Trillium Book Award reflects the wealth of talent and creativity of Ontario authors writing in both English and French languages. The Award is open to books in any genre which makes for a rich, diverse range of fiction and non-fiction titles for the yearly shortlist, and the winners. The Award is considered the province’s foremost honour for literature.

We thank the members of the English and French language juries for their dedication and hard work in reviewing the many submissions, narrowing them down to a shortlist and selecting the winning authors:
