John Gardiner, a Wallaceburg author, earns Giller and Trillium nominations for his debut short story collection, *Life in the Deep End*, after decades of writing and self-publishing.
Wallaceburg author John Gardiner has been nominated for both the Giller Prize and the Trillium Book Award for his short story collection *Life in the Deep End*, a breakthrough after decades of writing and self-publishing.
After nearly 40 years in journalism and years of rejections, Manor House Publishing in Ancaster published his work, praising its emotional depth and authenticity.
Gardiner’s stories, described as “emotional thoughtscapes,” focus on ordinary people facing quiet life moments like retirement or illness.
Though he doesn’t expect to win, he sees the nominations as validation of his lifelong dedication to writing.
The book is available through Amazon or by contacting the author.
