Company Profile

Singapore Book Council (SBC) is a charity founded in 1968. Its vision is to Build Our Imagine-nation by developing creativity, imagination and original thought through writing, reading, illustrating and storytelling. Its mission is to fulfil this vision by supporting content, content creation, translation, rights, markets and training through books and literary art events, workshops, and awards.

SBC supports the community at all levels, from language programmes and books for children, to aspiring individuals and professionals like writers, illustrators, storytellers and relevant industry partners by providing a platform to learn, network and collaborate.

It also organises events to foster professional and community engagement like the annual Asian Festival of Children’s Content and All In! Young Writers Festival, and grants prestigious awards, like the Singapore Literature Prize, to recognise and encourage excellence. Finally, SBC offers publishing-related and literary arts-focused courses and workshops to enhance skills and encourage lifelong learning through its training arm, the Academy of Literary Arts and Publishing.

SBC aims to become a hub for Asian content for the world, encouraging stories to be created and told across platforms.  For its 50th anniversary in 2018, its theme is IMAGINE ASIA with Singapore as its focus.

Through telling our own stories by writing or illustrations, it promotes understanding, impacts legacy and connects Asia with the world. 

Because it all starts with a story.
