The Danuta Gleed Literary Award is a Canadian national literary prize, awarded since 1998. It recognizes the best debut short fiction collection by a Canadian author in English language.[1] The annual prize was founded by John Gleed in honour of his second wife, the Canadian writer Danuta Gleed, whose favourite literary genre was short fiction, and is presented by The Writers' Union of Canada. The incomes of her One for the Chosen, a collection of short stories published posthumously in 1997 by BuschekBooks and released by Frances Itani and Susan Zettell, assist in funding the award.[1]

Initially C$5,000, the prize money increased to C$10,000 in 2004.[2] The runners-up each receive C$500.[1] The nominations must be submitted before the end of January.[3] The year's shortlist is chosen by a jury.[4] The varying jury is composed of Canadian writers, literary critics and publishers, such as Gail Anderson-Dargatz, Robin McGrath and Hal Niedzviecki in 2012 or Douglas Glover, J. Jill Robinson and Claire Holden Rothman in 2011.[5]

The first winning work was Curtis Gillespie's The Progress of an Object in Motion. In 2010, Joey Comeau's Overqualified was withdrawn, as the writer already published a debut work in 2007. That year, only two books were shortlisted, the fewest in the history of the award.
