EDITOR’S NOTE
In late november, the RBC Taylor Prize announced that the annual $30,000 Canadian non-fiction award would draw to a close after the March 2020 edition. Over its prestigious 20-year run, the Taylor expanded its scope to support the next generation of talent through its emerging writer award, presented to recipients such as Jessica J. Lee, Alicia Elliott, and Cassi Smith. In 2018, a mentorship program was established that would pair rising writers with Taylor Prize finalists.
