The Writers’ Trust Notable Author Award
Winner: $25,000

Established in 2008, the Writers’ Trust Notable Author Award was created by merging two previously existing prizes: the Marian Engel Award for a female writer in mid-career (1986-2007) and the Timothy Findley Award for a male writer in mid-career (2002 – 2007). Writers are judged on their body of work – judged to be no less than three works of literary merit which are predominantly fiction – rather than a single book. All Canadian writers will be considered and no age restrictions will apply. The winner, selected by a three-member, independent judging panel, is announced annually at the Writers’ Trust Awards event.
