Nora Gold's first book, Marrow and Other Stories (published by Warwick in 1998) won the Louis Lockshin Prize for Short Fiction, one of the Canadian Jewish Book Awards, and also was short-listed for the Danuta Gleed Award, a prize for the best first short story collection anywhere in Canada. Prior to the publication of the book, the title story, "Marrow," won a prize at the Eden Mills Fiction Contest, and was also included inVital Signs, an anthology of promising new Canadian writers. Since then, Gold has completed her first novel, Exile, about the anti-Israelism in the Canadian academe, and is now in the middle of her second novel.
