The Lit Platform

The Literary Platform is a specialist agency working at the heart of books and technology. In 2013 we were selected for the British Council Creative Economy’s list of Top Ten UK Creative Entrepreneurs, and for the Guardian Professional/h.Club 100 list of ‘most innovative and influential’ in the creative industries. In 2015 we were listed in the Fortuna 50 Index of the UK’s fastest growing female-led small businesses. We work with a wide range of clients on R&D, audience development and engagement, community building, content strategy, communications strategy, partnership brokering, event programming, organisational change, business development, data analysis and project management for digital publishing projects. We also work with academic institutions and other organisations on research projects looking at the impact of technology on writers and publishing, as well as conceiving and producing our own projects with funding from Arts Council England including the Jerwood Fiction Uncovered Prize and The Writing Platform. Our clients are book publishers, developers, literary organisations and festivals, conference organisers, retailers and think tanks and include the Royal Society of Literature, The Reading Agency, Heuristic Media, British Council, National Literacy Trust, Pan Macmillan, Faber & Faber, Random House, Simon & Schuster, Nesta and Hachette.
