Join the First Editions

First Story’s philanthropy circle

For supporters who want to invest more deeply in our work and enjoy the benefits of a closer relationship.

The First Editions group contributes directly to funding First Story’s operational plan and strategic development.

In return for their creative commitment, members connect with First Story’s leadership team and are invited to engage with like-minded peers at regular events.

We express our gratitude to the First Editions group with the same thank you package as our Friends members, plus the following:

  • Access to exclusive private events at prestigious venues.
  • Regular opportunities to connect with other high-profile supporters, acclaimed writers, and First Story’s leadership team.
  • Opportunities to invite friends and contacts to our events.
  • Bespoke, personalised communication.
  • Invitation to an annual First Editions ‘thank you’ event hosted by a well-known author.

Past events have been held at venues including RIBA, the Bank of England, the House of Lords and Clarence House.
