Chilliwack author wins Canadian Book Club Award for romance

A Chilliwack author has won a national readers’ award for her book.
Sophie Sullivan won one of 13 Canadian Book Club Awards for her romance novel Ten rules for pretending. The winners were announced on Friday December 30th.
The name Sophie Sullivan is actually a pseudonym. Her real name is Jody Holford and she has written dozens of books over the years.
“Given the hundreds of entries that the Canadian Book Club Awards had this year, we are thrilled to see such a diverse range of authors, voices and stories on the 2022 winners list,” said Program Director Kristtain Oliveria-Barnes.
Doctors, migrants, tech moguls, and elementary school teachers are just a few of the authors whose debut titles have been named winners this year.
In 2022, the Canadian Book Club Awards became the largest readership awards in Canada, doubling the number of genres from the 2021 awards and tripling the number of submissions received in previous years.
As Canada’s largest Reader’s Choice Award, Canadian readers and book clubs who register become judges for the Canadian Book Club Awards.
