Providing resources to authors who are parents.

Pen Parentis is proud to announce that we have been awarded a 2009 Manhattan Community Arts Fund Grant to help support The Pen Parentis After Work Reading Series. Thank you Lower Manhattan Cultural Council and New York City Department of Cultural Affairs for your generosity.

The Literary Salon presents two notable authors reading from their work each month in two hour event which concludes with an intimate Q&A and signings at the authors’ discretion.
