Books in Canada First Novel Award

The Books in Canada First Novel Award has a tumultuous history. It was founded by the literary magazine Books in Canada but when money ran short the award was managed by Smithboooks and became the Smithbooks/Books in Canada First Novel Award. When Smithbooks was acquired by Chapters Books Inc, it became the Chapters/Books in Canada First Novel Award. In 1999 Chapters decided to end its affiliation with the award and it is now officially the Amazon.com/Books in Canada First Novel Award
