Literary Publishers Component of Supporting Artistic Practice

Who can apply

Multi-year funding for literary book and magazine publishers

The Council supports only a limited number of for-profit artistic organizations that are important to the dissemination of the works of artists and authors, such as literary publishers, record labels, and arts management services.

To receive funding from the Canada Council, applicants must have a validated applicant profile and applicants must meet the eligibility criteria outlined in the profile.

1. For individuals and groups, this typically includes demonstrating past learning or training, past compensation for arts activities, a commitment to a career in the arts, and recognition by other artists or arts workers.
2. For organizations, this typically includes demonstrating incorporation as a non-profit organization, a mandate related to the arts, a history of arts activities and a history of paying professional fees and royalties to artists and arts workers.

Each funding opportunity offered by the Council also outlines the eligible applicants, activities and expenses for that specific funding opportunity. For further information, please consult our applicant profiles and funding opportunities on the Council’s portal.
