Support Atlantic Stories
The Atlantic Book Awards Society is a registered charity dedicated to celebrating and supporting writers from across Atlantic Canada. Every year, we bring together authors, publishers, and readers to honour outstanding literary work through our annual festival and awards gala.
Your donation helps ensure that Atlantic stories are recognized, shared, and celebrated — not just locally, but nationally.
Why Your Support Matters
Publishing and promoting books can be especially challenging for writers living outside major publishing centres. Many Atlantic Canadian authors face long distances, limited resources, and fewer opportunities to be seen and heard.
Your generosity helps level the playing field.
Donations directly support:
- Travel and accommodations for shortlisted authors so they can attend the festival and awards gala
- A vibrant public festival that connects readers with writers
- A professional, welcoming awards experience that honours literary excellence
- The long-term sustainability of the Atlantic Book Awards
For many nominees, attending the awards is not just a celebration — it’s a rare opportunity to connect with peers, build networks, and feel that their work truly matters.
The Impact of Your Gift
When you donate, you’re doing more than funding an event.
You’re:
- Ensuring nominees from across the region can show up and be recognized.
- Supporting a literary culture that reflects Atlantic voices and experiences.
- Investing in stories that shape how our region sees itself.
Every contribution, large or small, makes a difference.
