“Lisa Moore, short-story writer and novelist, is a three-time nominee for the Scotiabank Giller Prize (2002, 2005 and 2013), winner of the Commonwealth Writers’ Prize and has been long-listed for the Man Booker Prize. Moore’s intimacy with her native city and province has made her, along with Wayne Johnston and Michael Winter, one of Newfoundland’s (and Canada’s) most important contemporary writers” (from Canadian Encyclopedia).
Edward Riche is an award-winning novelist and screenplay writer best-known for Rare Birds. “Best defined as a satirist, Edward Riche is one of the most productive writers in Newfoundland, working in several media and continuously creating work that is both comical and critical. His work can be uproariously humorous while seriously critiquing such targets as Newfoundland's culture and heritage industry, pretentious academics, and corrupt politicians. His style is described by fellow Newfoundlander Mary Walsh as ‘eviscerating comedy’” (from Canadian Encyclopedia).
