The Alderney Literary Trust is a charitable trust founded in 2013 on the Channel Island of Alderney to encourage the appreciation of literature and promote critical literacy.

The Trust aims to:

• encourage the enjoyment of reading and writing for pleasure, through a variety of literary events such as creative writing courses and guest author events;

• promote an appreciation of different styles of writing, and an understanding of how writers’ points of view can shape their stories;

• inspire readers to develop a deeper awareness of history and its relevance through an annual festival of historical literature.
