Litro is an independent literary and cultural publisher working across the UK, the United States and an international network of writers, readers and institutions.
We work with publishers, universities, cultural institutions, foundations and selected brands on editorial programmes, print and digital publishing, archives, education and writer development.
Why Litro
Litro has published new writing since 2005. Our work moves across fiction, essays, interviews, print, digital publishing, education and international literary projects.
We are most useful to organisations that want to support or reach readers through credible cultural work rather than generic display advertising.
That can mean supporting a programme, backing a print or digital edition, working with writers and audiences, or developing a partnership around a genuine editorial and cultural fit.

Ways to work together
We would rather build a partnership that fits than force an organisation into a predefined package.
Editions, editorial series, public conversations, archive-led projects and cultural programmes developed around a clear editorial idea.
Selective print advertising, digital presence, sponsored visibility and campaign activity where there is a credible fit with Litro’s readership and editorial world.
Masterclasses, writer development, university collaboration, educational programmes and projects that help writers move from practice towards readership and publication.
Universities, libraries, foundations, museums and other institutions can work with Litro and Litro USA on publishing, archives, public humanities, education and literary access.
Current work
Our strongest partnerships usually begin with existing editorial work rather than a campaign invented around a sponsor.
A Litro publishing programme exploring London through literary work, memory, migration, place and the archive.
An international publishing archive connecting writers, cities and cultures through region- and place-led editions.
Small live programmes bringing writers into direct contact with authors, editors, performers and publishing practitioners.
One literary network
Litro’s UK and US organisations have different legal and operational structures, but sit inside a connected editorial and literary ecosystem.
