Our Members are champions of literature. Their support makes our engagement work in schools and prisons possible and they enable us to celebrate literature in all its wonderful diversity. As a thank you, we give them all the joys of a literary festival and book club rolled into one, all year round.

Awards and Prizes
Our awards support writers at all stages of their careers. Each award has its own entry requirements, prize and deadlines. If you’d like to see past winners finding out from judges that they’ve won, visit our library in Look and Listen.
Fellows
Our Fellowship includes the best writers in or from the UK today. Their involvement with all the RSL does makes our engagement work, events and projects possible.
