The Literary Conversation

TLC is committed to hosting wide-ranging literary conversations through our work and partnerships. Our priority across our services and programmes is to centre editorial excellence, champion literary culture, and inspire the next generation of writers, all while prioritising holistic wellbeing for more sustainable, and ultimately more innovative, literary creativity.

This year The Literary Consultancy turns 30. To celebrate this significant milestone, we are hosting The Literary Conversation, a limited podcast series asking Big Questions about the state of literary culture, and the future of writers, writing and storytelling. You can watch the trailer here.

We welcome you to be part of the conversation with us. Please enjoy.
