I am thrilled to announce that Carmel Harrington has been shortlisted for the Irish Book Awards for her most recent novel, The Things I Should Have Told You.
The Irish Book Awards, also known as the Bord Gáis Energy Irish Book Awards are Irish literary awards given each year to books and authors in various categories. It is the only literary award supported by all-Irish bookstores. The primary sponsor is Bord Gáis, an energy supplier in Ireland.
The Bord Gáis Energy Irish Book Awards brings together the entire literary community – readers, authors, booksellers, publishers and librarians – to recognize and celebrate the very best of Irish literary talent.
The winners are decided by an online web-poll divided into two constituencies, a public vote and a specialist Academy vote, weighted equally and combined to produce the winners. The voting academy is made up of 300 booksellers, librarians, non-shortlisted authors, reviewers and journalists.
The public are now being asked to cast their votes for the best books of the year online on the Bord Gáis Energy Irish Book Awards website www.bgeirishbookawards.ie. Votes may be cast until midnight on November 11th, 2016.
The winners will be announced at the awards ceremony in Dublin’s Double Tree by Hilton Hotel on Wednesday, November 16th.
Please take the time to vote for your favorite authors in each category. And make sure you vote for Carmel Harrington – Newcomer of the Year.
Congratulations Carmel. Trace Literary Agency is so proud of you. And we’ve cast our vote!!
