Canada Gets Women's Writing Prize

Canadians will get their very own Orange Prize. Born of a panel at the Vancouver's Writers Fest, the Rosalind Prize for Fiction will celebrate women writers in Canada. Janice Zawerbny is the midwife, taking a conversation about the state of women's writing in Canada and putting it into action, with the first prize to be awarded in 2014.
