MENTOR A WRITER IN PRISON
The PEN Prison Writing Mentorship Program seeks volunteers to mentor incarcerated individuals in their writing. >> More information
JOIN THE PRISON WRITING COMMITTEE
The
PEN Prison Writing Program is seeking new members to help judge the
annual Prison Writing Contest. Committee membership requires
attendance at quarterly meetings, and reading a selection of contest
entries. >> Contact prisonwriting@pen.org
DONATE BOOKS
As
you might guess, most prison libraries are grim indeed: many lack even
a basic dictionary or encyclopedia. We encourage you to send any extra
literary books or galleys to prison library book-donation
programs. >> More information

| 2006 HANDBOOK FOR WRITERS IN PRISON |
PEN American Center is pleased to announce the release of the 2006 Handbook for Writers in Prison.
This updated edition features new information on punctuation, cover letters, and a list of recommended magazines and journals that consider work for publication. There are also detailed guides on the art of writing fiction, nonfiction, poetry, and screenplays. This is an invaluable resource to any incarcerated writer. To date, PEN has distributed 20,000 copies of the Handbook and continues to receive requests.
The Handbook for Writers in Prison can also be ordered on behalf of a friend or loved one who is incarcerated, though we encourage you to make a $5 donation to the Prison Writing Program. Your support will not only help us publish future editions of this Handbook but will also help provide hundreds of inmates across the country with skilled writing teachers and audiences for their work.
Price: $0.00
