About
Tŷ Newydd Writing Centre is part of Literature Wales.
Literature Wales is the national company for the development of literature. Our vision is a Wales where literature empowers, improves and brightens lives. We facilitate, fund, and directly deliver a literary programme across Wales. Our work includes inspiring communities through participation in literature, developing the skills and talents of writers, and celebrating Wales’ literary culture.
To deliver these, we have identified three priorities to focus our work and investment, which aim to create positive change in society through literature:
- Representation & Equality: addressing historical and structural inequalities in the sector and platforming diverse voices
- Health & Well-being: using the healing power of literature to support the well-being of our nation
- Climate Emergency: using the creative power of words to educate, challenge and inspire long-term change
Literature Wales is a registered charity, and we are funded by the Arts Council of Wales. We work in Welsh, English and bilingually across Wales, and our offices are in Llanystumdwy and Cardiff.
