Librarians buy books for their libraries. A LOT of books. And all writers everywhere get paid when their books are purchased for libraries.
In Canada and some other countries, however, writers receive additional funds, funds they can use to create the next book or to…eat. (We like eating. We try to do it every day. – grins)
Canadian writers are given a ‘grant’ of sorts for every book (ebook, print book, audio book, other) they have in a Canadian library.
If you are Canadian and you want to help Canadian writers, request their books. Ask a librarian to order their books. In Toronto, this is as simple as sending an email or going into a library and mentioning it to a librarian.
Libraries and writers will thank you.
