These writers, literary works, and award sponsors have found themselves in the spotlight recently.

  • The Giller Foundation has ended its agreement with Scotiabank to sponsor Canada's prestigious Giller Prize for fiction; protests against the relationship began over a year ago, because of the bank's ties to an Israeli arms manufacturer (CBC).

  • United States Artists has announced this year's USA Fellows, including many writers, poets, storytellers, and critics.

  • The shortlist for the 2025 Inside Literary Prize, the only literary award to be given exclusively by incarcerated people, has been released (National Book Foundation).
