Welcome Message for writers

The Writers' Trust of Canada is a national charitable organization providing a level of support to writers unmatched by any other non-governmental organization. Our various programs offer opportunity, reward success, and help foster the growth of a community ensuring that amid the din of competing voices Canadian stories are shared.

Watch a video below where prominent writers talk about the impact the Writers' Trust has had on their careers and on the Canadian writing community.

Margaret Atwood “Your donation to the Writers' Trust could be the difference between a finished book and one whose pages remain blank forever.” Margaret Atwood Co-Founder, The Writers' Trust of Canada
Joseph Boyden “It's a tough world out there for struggling Canadian authors, but thankfully, the Writers' Trust is a lifeline for so many. Your contribution really can make a whole world of difference.” Joseph Boyden Winner, 2005 Rogers Writers' Trust Fiction Prize
