The Ontario Creates Global Market Development Fund – Book has had a significant impact on the Ontario book publishing industry. In the past five years, the number of Ontario publishers exporting their books has increased by 50%, and the value of book exports from Ontario has increased by 25%. The program has also helped to create new jobs in the book publishing industry.
The program provides funding to Ontario publishers to help them expand into international markets. Publishers can use the funding to attend international book fairs, develop marketing and promotional materials, and more. This helps publishers to connect with potential buyers and distributors in other countries, and to increase sales of their books.
