The Nelson and District Arts Council and Elephant Mountain Literary Festival are thrilled to announce this year’s recipient of the Richard Carver Award for emerging writers.
Writer Sarah Beauchamp has been chosen by an arms-length jury to receive the award this year.
Beauchamp’s letter of nomination highlighted the quality of her work, community involvement and support of the literary community.
From the nomination letter: “She writes about experiences that are uniquely her own, yet familiar and touching to the reader. She explores her identity as an Indigenous and settler woman with tender honesty.”
