Alliance of Literary Societies explained

The Alliance of Literary Societies (ALS) is an umbrella organisation for literary societies mainly based in the United Kingdom.^[1]

In May 2010, Jenny Uglow was appointed President of the Alliance, succeeding Aeronwy Thomas.^[2] Claire Harman replaced Uglow in 2016.^[3]
