In celebration of the 2020 Scotiabank Giller Prize finalists, Audible is illuminating the art of storytelling with a unique work, The Audlib Project. This Audible Original is an ad-lib collaborative short story, written collectively by all of the 2020 Scotiabank Giller Prize finalists, where each explored the theme of “Home,” as inspired by the creativity of their work. The Audlib Project is available for free, exclusively at Audible.ca and current and/or past works of the 2020 shortlisted authors are also available on Audible.

The 2020 jury produced an outstanding shortlist and we look forward to celebrating all five authors tonight at 9 p.m. EST during a live broadcast. The evening will be hosted by Canadian actor, Eric McCormack with performances by Canadian jazz pianist and singer, Diana Krall.

Each year, we gift the Scotiabank Giller Prize shortlisted authors a leather-bound copy of their book as a keepsake to commemorate the experience. Since 2000, the Scotiabank Giller Prize has been working with the amazing team at Felton Bookbinding to create these beautiful pieces of work. Bookbinding is a fascinating art form that not a lot of people know about. So, we asked Keith at Felton Bookbinding a few questions. We wanted to share his answers with you in hopes that you might learn something new.

Each year, Giller Light Bash events are held across Canada on the evening of the Scotiabank Giller Prize Gala, but like most events this year, the Giller Light Bash will take place virtually. Although you won't be able to gather in person, this is still a great opportunity to connect with fellow book lovers while watching the Scotiabank Giller Prize broadcast and raising funds for this worthwhile cause.

Hosted by Jael Richardson, Between the Pages: An Evening with the Scotiabank Giller Prize Finalists will be an hour of readings, questions and answers and will take you inside the minds and creative lives of the writers on the 2020 shortlist.

On October 5, at 10 a.m. ET, the Scotiabank Giller Prize shortlist will be announced. This year’s shortlist will be revealed by past winners Esi Edugyan, Elizabeth Hay, Sean Michaels, Michael Redhill and Madeleine Thien.

On September 8, at 10 a.m. ET, the Scotiabank Giller Prize longlist will be announced. This year's longlist will be revealed by 2019 Scotiabank Giller Prize winner, Ian Williams.

Today, The Giller Foundation announced two donations to writers’ groups focused on inclusivity and diversity. A donation of $25,000 will be given to the Indigenous Literary Studies Association (ILSA) and another $25,000 to Diaspora Dialogues. Both organizations focus on supporting, mentoring and nurturing writers who are Black, Indigenous and people of colour.

We are excited to announce that we have brought back Crazy for CanLit! The format has changed slightly but the goal is the same, to celebrate Canadian authors.

Audible.ca, the leading spoken-word entertainment and audiobook producer and provider, announced today that audio editions of 10 of Canada’s acclaimed Scotiabank Giller Prize-winning books will be made available to Canadian listeners for free.
