Aims/priorities: With the goal of helping all communities in the UK and Republic of Ireland tell their stories through writing, the Amazon Literary Partnership supports non-profit literary organisations that empower writers to create, publish, learn, teach, experiment, and thrive.
The grant funding is intended for innovative groups that amplify diverse voices and strive for a lasting impact on writers' lives, the literary and publishing communities and broader society.
Who can apply? Applicants must be a registered not-for-profit literary organisation in the UK or Republic of Ireland, whose core mission is to develop emerging writers, support diversity, celebrate storytelling, and/or build authors’ careers.
Organisations should be structurally and financially sound; display energy, passion, and reach; have an online presence and an enthusiastic membership or readership.
Previous grant recipients represented institutions large and small, national and local, and included non-profit writing centres, residencies, fellowships, after-school classes, literary magazines, national organisations supporting storytelling and free speech, and internationally acclaimed publishers of fiction, nonfiction, and poetry.
