Caitlin to Head Jury for 2007 Sunburst Awards


This year Caitlin will head the jury for the Sunburst Awards. The Sunburst Award for Canadian Literature of the Fantastic is a juried award based on excellence of writing. It is presented annually to a Canadian writer with a speculative fiction novel or book-length collection of speculative fiction published any time during the previous calendar year. Named after the first novel by Phyllis Gotlieb, one of the first published authors of contemporary Canadian science fiction, the award consists of a cash award of Cdn$1,000 and a medallion which incorporates a specially designed "Sunburst" logo. The winner receives his or her award in the fall of every year.
