Giller Prize

The Giller Prize is an annual award that goes to the author of the best Canadian novel or short story fiction collection published in English. This prize was established in 1994 by Toronto businessman Jack Rabinovitch in honour of his late wife Doris Giller, a former literary editor at the Toronto Star. The prize is given in November of each year and comes with a cash reward of $25,000.
