Information concerning writers in the Catalan language can be obtained from the following sources and organisations:

Associació d'escriptors en llengua catalana (AELC). The Association of Writers in the Catalan Language (AELC) fulfils the double function of defending the professional interests of Catalan writers and of promoting Catalan literature in its various forms both within the territories where Catalan is spoken and beyond the Catalan-speaking domain.

Associació Col·legial d'escriptors de Catalunya (ACEC).The Collegiate Association of Writers of Catalonia, the ACEC, brings together authors working in different fields—writers, translators, compilers and literary critics—whatever the language they use in order to facilitate access for its members to grants and assistance provided by public institutions and other players involved in various ways in cultural creation.

Associació de Joves Escriptors en Llengua Catalana (AJELC). The  Association of Young Writers in Catalan was founded in 1980 as a platform for young authors to make their work known.

Pen Català.Since it was founded, the Catalan PEN has been a platform for the international projection of Catalan writers and literature. This international projection has taken the form of active participation in the aims of the International PEN, fundamentally the fight for the defence of freedom of expression and for the release of imprisoned writers.

Traduccions del Català (TRAC). The Translations from Catalan database (TRAC) allows users to access information concerning Catalan authors and books translated into other languages. The database includes information, up to the year 2003, provided by the Institució de les Lletres Catalanes and the Institut Ramon Llull,which is responsible for its management and maintenance.

Lletra. This is a virtual space for Catalan literature, a place for Catalan literature on the Internet. It provides well-ordered information concerning existing Web sites while at the same time producing new pages and new contents.
