The aim of the Academi's new Programme Support Scheme is to assist with the establishment of regular literature slots within venues, with the organisation of literature festivals, literary tours and other wide scale literature promotion activities.

The terms, conditions and scale of appropriate writers fees which can be supported are to some degree flexible - the Academi's funding guidelines for the Writers on Tour scheme can serve as a model for applicants and are available on request.

Applications can be made for events promoting writers living and working in Wales as well as for visiting writers. Activities seeking support must take place within the geographical borders of Wales and without exception applications must be made and agreed at least a month prior to the event.

Potential applicants are welcome to discuss their project informally with the Academi prior to applying.
