Q: How do you fight a shitty administration?

A: With elaborate outpourings of communal joy.

As an act of inclusivity and defiance, Pen Parentis is revolutionizing the AWP Bookfair and creating collaborations out of competitors.

JOIN OUR JOYOUS FIGHT FOR ALL THAT IS GOOD IN THE ARTS WORLD. DONATE TO HELP SUSTAIN OUR COMMUNAL WORK.

Pen Parentis builds Literary Community through partnerships with organizations who host activities that support creative writing and organizations and businesses that support the health and well-being of writers and of parents. The reach of our programs is national through our networking website and social media channels, all of which feature unique parenting-and-writing resources.

PEN PARENTIS is a federally recognized 501c3 non-profit literary organization registered in the State of New York.

Since 2009, we have been bringing the heart of the NYC Literary Community to writer-parents who are isolated by their family status or merely by geography.

Every writer should be encouraged to thrive and should be able to find a supportive arts community to help them stay on creative track.
