The Asia-Pacific Writing Partnership (APWP, or ‘AP Writers’) is a not-for-profit initiative that brings together writers, scholars, writers’ organizations, translators, publishers and others interested in the development, exploration, distribution and promotion of writing from Asian and Pacific Rim countries.
We support diversity of cultural expression and literature that crosses borders. AP Writers champions the notion that literature enhances understanding between cultures.
We collaborate with educational and non-academic bodies interested in supporting writing in the Asia-Pacific region Our key event for 2011 will be held in Perth, Australia, 2-5 December 2011 in conjunction with the 14th Biennial Symposium on Literatures and Cultures of the Asia Pacific Region at the University of Western Australia. For details, see NEXT EVENT.
AP Writers’ Board and Advisors include established writers, scholars, editors, translators, publishers, literary agents and others associated with the production, distribution or promotion of prose and poetry from or about the Asia-Pacific region.
You don’t have to be an established writer, a distinguished scholar or literary organisation to join the Partnership. Membership is free to anyone interested in keeping up-to-date with discussions about writing from the region.
Our primary working language is English, but members and affiliates include many writers, scholars, translators and others whose first language is not English. Universities and other organisations that host events with us are encouraged to organise workshops and panels in other Asian languages.

The Asia-Pacific Writing Partnership is currently nominally hosted by the Creative Writing Disclipine at the University of Adelaide which does not provide funding. We are seeking a secure funding base.
