In Conversation: Amanda Peters

Join us In Conversation with award-winning Author Amanda Peters.

Amanda Peters is of Mi’kmaq and settler ancestry from Falmouth, Nova Scotia. Her debut novel The Berry Pickers was the winner of the 2024 Andrew Carnegie Medal for Excellence in Fiction, Barnes & Noble Discovery Prize, Dartmouth Book Award for Fiction, and the Crime Writers of Canada Award for the Best Crime First Novel 2024.

After a stunning debut novel, The Berry Pickers, which is a riveting story about the search for truth, the shadow of trauma, and the persistence of love across time, Peters released Waiting for the Long Night Moon in August of 2024. Peters melds traditional storytelling with beautiful, spare prose to describe the dignity of the traditional way of life, the humiliations of systemic racism and the resilient power to endure.

With an opportunity to ask questions, as well as purchase copies of Amanda’s work for signing, we hope you’ll join host Liz Crocker and author Amanda Peters for an afternoon of delightful, and insightful, conversation.
