The Writers' Trust of Canada has named nine finalists for the 2026 RBC Bronwen Wallace Awards for Emerging Writers, which is presented to a Canadian citizen or permanent resident who has published poetry or prose in a literary magazine or anthology, but has not yet been published in book form and is without a book contract.
Winners in three categories--poetry, short fiction, and creative nonfiction--will each receive C$10,000 (about US$7,310) at an event in Toronto on June 1. Finalists get C$2,500 (about US$1,825). This year's finalists can be found here.
