Silver PEN Partners

Since 1921, English PEN has defended the freedom to write often enagaging the support of public institutions, newspapers and publishing houses. In order to safeguard our vital work for the future, we are now adding to our regular membership of writers and literary professionals a small circle of Silver PEN Partners - companies and organisations drawn from within the publishing industry whose commitment to the literary community extends far beyond their own list of authors.

In what is a genuine two-way partnership, English PEN is helping to facilitate commitments to corporate social responsibility and offering those involved in our partnership organisations a range of opportunities for personal and professional development.

Our current Silver PEN Partners include Hachette UK, HarperCollins, Penguin and London Book Fair. To find out more about the details and benefits of the scheme please contact English PEN's director, Jonathan Heawood on jonathan@englishpen.org.
