The last day has been so exciting. I received a package in the mail from the Canada Council this morning including a sheet of 'Finaliste des GG' foil seals to stamp on to the cover of my books! (Look how lovely they look with the seal! Growing up, I used to think that books with those foil seals must have been very special books, which makes this feel so surreal).
I want to thank everyone for all of the kind words of encouragement over the last day. It's been pretty overwhelming!
Congratulations Melinda!
ReplyDeleteI love how you looked up to the gold seal when you were little, and now, you are one of them!
This is huge news! I am so happy for you!
Amazing Melinda! and yet at the same time, totally not a surprise at all when you consider your talent. This has brightened my day!

ReplyDeleteCongratulations, I'm from Huntsville and just saw the article in the Forrester! I went to Sheridan many years ago and am just getting back into illustration after many years away. To get a book published would be exciting enough but to be up for a Governor General award is amazing!
