All funds are in Canadian dollars.
Alternatively, the author may request reimbursement of that amount upon receipt of proof of payment. This amount can be used for editorial assistance, indexing, preparation of figures, line art and artwork, as well as other authorized expenses. For consideration by the committee, the author must submit a copy of the contract with the publishing house, a detailed budget and a statement of the anticipated timeline of the project. For multiple author books, it is expected that costs will be shared proportionately by those involved. Upon committee approval, an account will be opened in the name of the author for the duration of the project.
