The Literary Platform is a free online resource dedicated to showcasing projects experimenting with literature and technology. Our editorial team is based in Europe (London and Geneva) but we cover projects happening all over the world. Please get in touch if you’re about to launch an interesting project or if you’re interested in writing or reviewing for the site.

The Literary Platform also offers consultancy services to publishers, literary organisations, authors, start-ups and developers. Clients include the FutureBook Innovation Workshop, O’Reilly’s Tools of Change conferences, the Frankfurt Book Fair, Pan MacMillan, Faber and Faber, Guernsey Launchpad, Royal Society of Literature, FILIJ Book Fair (Mexico), National Literacy Trust, Beyond The Frame  (Open University and British Library project) and Simon and Schuster. You can contact us about these services here.

The organisation currently sits on a working group at NESTA looking at the impact of digital on SME publishers.

You will find us talking at digital publishing events such as Tools of Change for Publishing, the Frankfurt Book Fair, Bologna Book Fair, Editech Milan, Electric Bookshop (Edinburgh), eBooks conference (Glasgow), FutureBook Innovation Workshop, London Art Book Fair, Whitechapel Gallery and more – for speaker enquiries please contact us here.
