NIGEL COX UNITY BOOKS AWARD
Jo McColl & Susanna Andrew announce the creation of the Nigel Cox Unity Books Award, to be given yearly to the author they consider to have an exceptional way with words.
This award takes the form of a $1,000 Unity Books voucher, for which there is no expiry date.
The first outstanding recipient will be announced at the 21st birthday party for Unity Books Auckland in February 2010.
What a lovely idea.
