Amazon Literary Partnership

The Amazon Literary Partnership is an annual grant programme in its seventh year that provides funding to non-profit literary organisations across the UK and Republic of Ireland. The programme supports organisations whose core mission is to develop emerging writers, support diversity, celebrate storytelling, and build authors' careers. In 2025, the ALP supported a record 38 literary groups, including organisations dedicated to building confidence through creativity, amplifying underrepresented voices, and inspiring communities through the written word. Grant recipients have used the funding for diverse programmes including creative writing workshops for children and young people, mentorship programmes for excluded youth, emerging writers programmes at historic libraries, and community writing labs. The grants enable organisations to expand their reach, remove barriers to participation, and create transformative opportunities for writers of all ages and backgrounds across both countries.
