The Twilight Saga: New Moon and Barney's Version star Rachelle Lefevre is slated to present Anne Michaels' The Winter Vault next Tuesday, November 10th, at the Scotiabank Giller Prize gala, according to a recent report.
The gala is one which celebrates novels and their authors by awarding cash prizes for selection by a panel of judges. The first place winner of the award will receive $50,000.
Lefevre is a notable proponent of the arts. In her tweets, she talks about various pieces of literature and film that she enjoys and encourages her followers and friends to check out books like Coco Before Chanel and Where The Wild Things Are.
The author whose work she is presenting at the gala, Anne Michaels, also wrote the celebrated Fugitive Pieces: A Novel as well as other works like The Weight of Oranges/Miner's Pond, and Skin Divers (poetry collections).
Other novels to be featured at the event are Kim Echlin's The Disappeared, Annabel Lyon's The Golden Mean, Linden MacIntyre's The Bishop's Man, and Colin McAdam's Fall. All of these works are published by Canadian companies, and the gala will take place in Toronto. It will be broadcast on live Bravo! and Book Television, with a CTV network premiere on November 11th.
