Did you know that authors can receive payment when their books are in libraries? This is called the Public Lending Right (PLR). In Canada, the PLR Program sends yearly payments to writers and other creators whose works are in public libraries.
The Quebec Writers’ Federation is excited to host PLR Program Manager Peter Schneider and PLR Program Analyst Lori Knoll for our next Lunch and Learn. They will give an overview of the program, including who is eligible, how payments work, and what has recently changed in the registration process.
Whether you already have a book in a public library or are working towards one, this Lunch and Learn will acquaint you with a program that helps writers get paid for their work.
This session is free and open to all.
This session will be recorded and available to view until May 1, 2026.
