FAQs: BWA memberships and partnerships

What are the benefits of being a BWA member?

What are the benefits of being a BWA partner?

BWA partners are forward-thinking organisations and generous people who are backing our groundbreaking national writing initiative. They recognise the potential of the BWA to promote literacy, inspire a love for creative writing within the UK, and to build communities. See who has pledged their support already.

By becoming a BWA partner, you can put your name to the Brit Writers' Awards and show the world you care about creativity! It's not all about financial sponsorship either. There are many other ways to get involved – by lending resources, offering your time or simply writing us a letter of support, for example. Find out more.
