Canada has produced some of the world's best literary voices across genres such as literary fiction, fantasy, and memoir. Margaret Atwood, Alice Munro, Yann Martel, and Louise Penny have received widespread recognition for their books and have topped bestseller lists in Canada and worldwide for years. But they did not achieve success suddenly; instead, they had invested years in developing their skills and cultivating an audience and have collaborated with the right kind of Canadian author book publishers to get their work published. Apart from these legacy writers, a fresh breed of Canadian authors has emerged through self-publishing and hybrid publishing routes, thereby validating that excellent storytelling, along with good publishing strategies, will fetch you international recognition irrespective of whether you publish your work traditionally or independently.
