READERS will be “spoiled for choice” with the books shortlisted for the Irish-Language Book of the Year Publishing Awards.
In conjunction with Foras na Gaeilge, the awards were announced live on RTÉ Raidió na Gaeltachta by An tOireachtas.
The awards consist of three categories - Gradam Uí Shúilleabháin (Book of the Year for Adults), Gradam Réics Carló (Book of the Year for Children) and Gradam de Bhaldraithe (Book of the Year for publications translated into Irish).
In total, 20 books have been shortlisted this year. Seven in the category ‘Irish-Language Book of the Year for Adults’, seven in the Children’s Book category and six in the category for translated works.
The publishing houses shortlisted include An tSnáthaid Mhór; Barzaz; Cló Iar-Chonnacht; Cló Léann na Gaeilge (CLÓ); Dalen Éireann; Futa Fata; Leabhar Breac; LeabhairCOMHAR agus Picnic Press.
Máirín Nic Dhonnchadha, CEO of An tOireachtas, said: "The requisite set of skills for successfully stewarding a book on its journey from the author’s first draft all the way into the hands of the reader is a multifaceted one in the fast paced world of today.”
They added: “Readers will be spoiled for choice with the range and diversity of works shortlisted which include novels, collections of essays and poetry, picture books for our young readers and exquisite translations from other languages."
The winners of the awards will be announced at an awards ceremony at the end of September 2023. A collective prize fund of €17,000 will be awarded.
