Five Rivers has several books eligible for popular vote literary awards. If you’re of a mind, your vote could go a long way toward acknowledging the excellence of some of the works we’ve published in 2016, and the continuing work of the authors and artists responsible for them.

The Prix Aurora is one of Canada’s preeminent awards for SF&F. To vote, you must be a Canadian citizen or landed immigrant, and purchase an annual membership to CSFFA for $10.00. The online form is here. This year the following from Five Rivers are eligible:
