From a story about a redheaded girl who lives in a house with green gables, to investigative reporting that takes you across the ocean and brings you home again, to the poem that teaches you to rethink how a page of text “should” look, we have long been inspired, moved, and challenged by great Canadian writers and their books.
In 1976, five prominent writers — Margaret Atwood, Pierre Berton, Graeme Gibson, Margaret Laurence, and David Young — founded Writers’ Trust to ensure that Canadian writing would continue to thrive for the benefit of all readers.
Writers’ Trust has built on this mission over the past 40 years, elevating our country’s writers to amplify the empathetic, imaginative Canadian voices that can change worlds far beyond our own border.
