Publishing Marketing and Discoverability Fund

The Publishing Marketing & Discoverability Fund is intended to drive economic growth in Ontario’s publishing (book and magazine) sectors by investing in marketing activities that elevate company revenues and job retention/growth. It is also intended to support emerging companies and DEI initiatives to drive overall industry growth.

The objectives of the Publishing Marketing & Discoverability Fund are to:

• leverage Ontario Creates’ investments;
• create jobs;
• grow companies (revenues, size, global impact); and
• expand diversity of content and companies.

The Publishing Marketing & Discoverability Fund combines the Book Fund and Magazine Fund into a single, integrated program that supports Ontario book and magazine publishers.
