Support PEN/Faulkner

Since 1980, PEN/Faulkner has championed the breadth and power of American fiction. Each year, we reach thousands of readers, writers, and students through our thought-provoking public literary programs, author visits and writing residencies held in partnership with DC’s Title I and Targeted Assistance schools, and our annual awards celebrating the very best in contemporary fiction.

Your support makes our work possible; please make a donation today.
