About
The Literary Platform online magazine explores the intersection of books and technology. We also have a dedicated consultancy team – TLP Collective – working at the heart of books and technology to help developers, publishers and literary organisations deliver digital projects successfully.
Our clients include the Royal Society of Literature, The Reading Agency, Heuristic Media, National Literacy Trust, Pan Macmillan, Faber & Faber and Simon & Schuster.
We work with academic institutions on research projects exploring the impact of technology on publishing, and create our own projects. For more about our recent projects click here.

“Working with The Literary Platform has been an excellent experience. The day was a success because of The Literary Platform’s strong grasp of how to use online marketing tools and social media according to the type of publishing and crucially the size of company. Each delegate left the workshop with a bespoke action plan which they had devised with the support and advice of The Literary Platform and their publishing colleagues.”
Simon Blacklock, Head of Faber Factory
“Not only are the team at The Literary Platform great at their job, but they fill every meeting and phone call with an energy and enthusiasm that money can’t buy. They have helped us enormously in establishing a relationship with Apple and in the overall development of the company in the app market generally”
Richard Loncraine and Patrick Uden, Founders, Heuristic Media
“The work of the Literary Platform was absolutely vital in developing the content strategy for The Royal Society of Literature’s new website. They gave us invaluable advice on the development of our multi-media content, integration of social media platforms and use of evaluation tools, as well as ensuring our online presence was original and in line with our brand. Their input led to a substantial increase in traffic and online engagement.”
Rachel Page, Associate Director, Royal Society of Literature
