Hey there, time traveller!

A Calgary-based writer has won this year’s Colophon Prize for fiction from Winnipeg’s Great Plains Publications.
Naomi K. Lewis will receive a $5,000 advance against royalties for the fall 2012 publication of her short-story collection, I Know Who You Remind Me Of, by Great Plains’ literary imprint, Enfield & Wizenty.
“Lewis’s stories are entertaining, hilarious, and populated with empathetic young women, some of whom are spinning out of control,” E & W editor Maurice Mierau said in a statement.
The other Colophon finalists this year, Méira Cook and Richard Van Camp, will also be published in the fall, Mierau said.
Last year’s Colophon winner was B.C. writer W.P. Kinsella for his novel Butterfly Winter.
Lewis was born in England but now teaches creative writing in Calgary. Her first novel, Cricket in a Fist, was published in 2008 by Fredericton-based Goose Lane Editions.
Since 1992, Great Plains has published a wide range of popular history and non-fiction, teen fiction and literary non-fiction.
