The Giller Prize is a prestigious Canadian literary award established in 1994. It honors the best fiction book published in English in Canada each year. The prize was created by businessman Jack Rabinovitch in memory of his late wife, Doris Giller, a prominent literary journalist. The award is administered by the Giller Prize Foundation and includes a monetary prize for the winner, along with recognition that can significantly boost book sales. A panel of judges, typically composed of authors, critics, and academics, evaluates the submissions to select the finalists and the eventual winner.
