Academi’s Joint Chair John Pikoulis says in his foreword:
It is not too much to say that [Academi] has become a model for how such an agency should operate…Academi makes a vital contribution to the arts, encouraging literary activity of all kinds, both amongst practitioners and members of the general public, and marrying it to a high level of achievement. To judge from this report, the state of Wales is in rude good health.
