The Welsh national literature promotion agency and society for writers.
The Academi represents the interests of Welsh writers (poets, novelists, fictioneers, storytellers, dramatists, critics) and Welsh writing both inside Wales and beyond.
It works in partnership with TÅ· Newydd, the Cricieth-based residential writers' centre and with the Dylan Thomas Centre in Swansea. In 2005 it opened its resource centre for writers at the new Wales Millennium Centre in Cardiff Bay - Glyn Jones Centre - in memory of the late author and poet.
