Writers' Trust Awards

Writers' Trust award gala is March 7 in Toronto. Nominees for its scads of prizes now listed at its site. Charlotte Gray's Reluctant Genius, her Alexander Graham Bell biography, is the principal history title in the non-fiction category. Just when I thought Professor John English might have a three-shot going, with nominations for the Charles Taylor and Shaughnessy Cohen prizes already in hand for his Pierre Trudeau biography.
