Established in 2018 with the support of the Royal Society of Literature’s Literature Matters scheme, the BRB is a free literary newspaper, based in the London borough of Lambeth. It’s published quarterly, and distributed via bookshops, libraries, coffee shops, pubs and anywhere else that will have us.
In spring 2020, the BRB received an emergency grant, publicly funded by the National Lottery through Arts Council England.
