Arts Council believe that great art and culture inspires us, brings us together and teaches us about ourselves and the world around us. In short, it makes life better.
Arts Council champion, develop and invest in artistic and cultural experiences that enrich people’s lives. Arts Council support activities across the arts, museums and libraries – from theatre to digital art, reading to dance, music to literature, and crafts to collections.
The London Borough of Barking and Dagenham (LBBD) supports Pen to Print as a cultural programme of activity delivered through its library service.
As part of its Culture Everywhere strategy, LBBD has a ‘bold and ambitious plan to put culture at the heart of the life of the Borough. It will build on our strengths and help overcome the challenges we face by improving resilience and sustainability in our cultural sector and increasing local participation and public engagement with culture in all its forms.’ (Culture Everywhere LBBD Culture Strategy 2017-22.)
New Generation Publishing are our partner publisher. Created in 2009 as part of award-winning independent book publisher Legend Press. New Generation became a company in its own right in 2011, offering an increased support, marketing and promotional team – one that could not just help authors become published but also help them market promote and sell their books
Spread the Word is London’s writer development agency, which means we are here to help London’s writers make their mark – on the page, the screen and in the world.
We do this by kick starting the careers of London’s best new writers, and energetically campaigning to ensure that publishing truly reflects the diversity of the city. We support the creative and professional development of writing talent, by engaging those already interested in literature and those who will be, and by advocating on behalf of both.
