I think it would be really cool if people nominated Lucy Maud Montgomery.
Some Quick Facts about L.M.M. :
Best-selling Canadian author of all time
Published 20 novels, 530 short stories, 500 poems, 30 essays
Anne of Green Gables alone has sold over 50 million copies
translated into 36 languages
24 movie and television adaptions (not counting play, musicals or web adaptions of which there are many as well)
Charlottetown’s stage adaption is the longest running musical in Canadian history
Prince Edward Island’s tourism industry basically thrives because of the popularity of her books.
In 1943 she was named a National Historic Person by the Canadian Government
The nomination form is open until March 11, 2020
P.S. On the form it asks you where you are from and there is an option to say you live outside of Canada so this seems to be open to EVERYONE to nominate people.
