Purpose
The program supports Ontario writers in the creation of new work and creates and strengthens connections between Ontario writers, publishers, and literary organizations.
This is a third-party recommender program. Using Nova, OAC’s online grant application system, writers apply to the publishers and organizations designated as recommenders for the program (a maximum of ten applications per year). These recommenders assess applications and submit grant recommendations to OAC.
Grants made from this program are made by OAC. Recommenders may not award grants in lieu of payment or impose conditions on applicants or grant recipients. See About Recommender Grants below for more information on the process.
Deadline date(s)
This program runs from September 3, 2024 to January 15, 2025, 1:00 p.m. ET. OAC does not set deadlines in this program. Recommenders set their own schedules for review of applications.
