Center for Fiction

The Center for Fiction is the only nonprofit literary organization in the U.S. solely dedicated to celebrating fiction, and we work every day to connect readers and writers. We’re known for our special literary events, including our innovative panels, lectures and conversations. We provide grants and hold workshops to support emerging writers. We host book groups on classic and contemporary fiction to help readers discover their next favorite author. We provide free books and host events for NYC students from K-12th grade to get kids reading, as well as summer writing workshops for budding authors. And we recognize the best in the world of fiction through our annual awards.
