2020 PEN America Literary Awards Ceremony

The PEN America Literary Awards Ceremony celebrates exceptional voices in literature across genres, including fiction, nonfiction, poetry, drama, translation, and more. “Late Night” host, comedian, and “influential recommender of books” (The New York Times) Seth Meyers will host the 2020 Ceremony.

This year, PEN America will confer nearly $330,000 to writers and translators. The 2020 Ceremony will be the largest in PEN America’s history, taking place at the landmark venue The Town Hall, an integral part of New York City’s cultural fabric for nearly a century.

We are pleased to invite all members of the literary community and general public to join us for an evening of writers celebrating writers, in what has become one of the joyous literary events of the year.

Over the past few years, the PEN America Literary Awards Ceremony has grown. With the increased scale and profile of this event, we’ve introduced ticketing both to guarantee seats for those who want to join, and to underwrite this extraordinary evening of celebration. All proceeds from ticket sales will support our Literary Awards, Grants, and Fellowships Programs, which provide vital recognition and transformative support to writers at all stages of their careers.

“The PEN America Literary Awards create for writers and activists a kind of magical Oscar-esque recognition and public acclaim for what is often lonely, quiet work.”
