TODAY, my cheque arrived.
Thanks to the Canada Council for the Art's Public Lending Right Program, I am one of 18,247 Canadian creators with works in Canadian public libraries to receive a payment this year. This support is in compensation for free public use of our work. We view PLR payments as an essential part of our annual income. And we look forward to them every February!
Writers, translators, illustrators, narrators, photographers and editors can all sign up for the program.
More than 30 countries around the world have PLR programs. Canada's was established in 1986.
