Living Writers

Living Writers is a master class in how works of literature come to be. The program is free and open to everyone: the only prerequisite is a passion for reading.

This fall, we’re looking forward to talking about 9 life-changing works of literature with some of the 6,000+ participants in Living Writers.

Scroll through the Living Writers FAQs for info about how it works. (Spoiler: You can cherry-pick, joining us for as little or as much as you like.) Join us in person or via Zoom for thrice-monthly author events. Participate in monthly Zoom book discussions. Listen anytime to our LW podcast, featuring 3-question interviews with many of the authors.

Details will be announced soon for the 2024 Living Writers Series.
