An Invitation to Meet Minnesota Authors and Cast Your Vote

March 05, 2010

During the month of March, Minnesota readers can vote online at TwinCities.com for their favorite Minnesota Book Awards finalist book. The finalist with the most votes will be awarded the Readers’ Choice Award, sponsored by the Pioneer Press and TwinCities.com. Join Ann Plans for the Readers’ Choice Event on Friday, March 12 at 7 p.m. at the Open Book Literary Arts Center (1011 Washington Avenue South in Minneapolis). This free event provides opportunities to meet many of the finalist authors and learn about their books. A wine and dessert reception follows the author program.

The winners of the Readers’ Choice Award, eight book category awards and two special awards will be announced at the Book Awards Gala on April 17 at the Crowne Plaza Hotel. This celebratory evening begins with a reception and book signing at 6:30 p.m. followed by the awards ceremony at 8 p.m. A sellout crowd of 700 is expected, so tickets should be purchased early.
