The 2026 Prairie Grindstone Prize Award Ceremony: Celebrating Marina Endicott
Join us for the award ceremony for the 2026 Prairie Grindstone Prize! The recipient of the $50,000 prize this year is Marina Endicott. Stop by for an evening of readings and conversation, followed by a book signing.
About the prize
The Prairie Grindstone Prize recognizes prairie writers of fiction, poetry, or creative nonfiction with a cash prize of $50,000 that will enable the writer to focus on their work for a year or more. This annual prize, funded by an anonymous donor committee, alternates between the provinces of Alberta and Saskatchewan.
Marina Endicott's six novels have been short-listed for the Giller Prize, the Governor General’s award and CBC’s Canada Reads; Good to a Fault won the Commonwealth Writers Prize for Best Book, Canada/Caribbean. Her latest, The Observer, won the City of Saskatoon Fiction Prize and was Saskatchewan’s Book of the Year. She lives in Saskatoon.
