I've been nominated for a NATIONAL NEWSPAPER AWARD!!! My Marfan story was a finalist for the long feature category. I'm up against Ian Brown of the Globe and Mail (a story on religion and its impact on people and politics) and Louise Leduc of the Montreal La Presse (for a story on immigrant minimum wage workers). I'm super excited as is everyone

That's fantastic! And well deserved - it was an extremely well-written piece! Congrats!

Thank you. I'm still in shock. But as has been pointed out to me this is an excellent boost to the resume as I try to get hired on here.

Well done, chickie!

I wouldn't rule out your chances of winning - that piece was amazing.

Congrats! I thought the story was brilliant, and the nomination is well-deserved. And hey, this is one of those cases when you can say it was an honour just to be nominated... but here's crossing my fingers anyway!

Wow congrats! That story is amazing, I can still remember passages from it now months after reading it. Way to go. Are you going to Halifax for the ceremony?

Probably. I'm going to convince one of the papers to send me. I'm pretty sure the herald will since they will be sending a few others. Then I'm going to see if I can take a few days off and since I'm on the east coast visit home. Free trip home - this couldn't be more perfect.
