People, Etc.

November 27, 2019
By Erin Somers

Cecelia Cancellaro, founder of Word Creative Literary Services, will join Cambridge University Press in early December as senior editor in US and Latin American history, based in New York.
Awards
In the UK, the Costa Book Awards announced its shortlists in five categories. Sara Collins’ The Confessions of Frannie Langton, a finalist for the first novel prize, is excerpted and available for download in our Buzz Books 2019 Fall/Winter sampler. Other nominees include: 
Novel
Middle England, by Jonathan Coe (Knopf/Viking)
Confession with Blue Horses, by Sophie Hardach (Head of Zeus)
Starling Days, by Rowan Hisayo Buchanan (Sceptre)
Shadowplay, by Joseph O’Connor (Harvill Secker)
First Novel
Diary of a Somebody, by Brian Bilston (Picador)
Queenie, by Candice Carty-Williams (Gallery/Trapeze)
The Confessions of Frannie Langton, by Sara Collins (Harper/Viking)
The Other Half of Augusta Hope, by Joanna Glen (The Borough Press)
Corporate
As we suggested before, the persistent decline in shares of LSC’s stock has led to a formal delisting warning from the New York Stock Exchange. They have six months to get their shares above $1, and will consider options including a reverse stock split. Unfortunately, their stock price continues to head towards zero, now trading at about 45 cents a share, for a market capitalization of under $15 million.
