2023 Literary Gala Sponsorships

Sponsorships may include donations of equal value or table sponsorships, which include attendance at the cocktail reception, dinner, and afterparty. Additionally, table sponsorships include the opportunity to have a distinguished author join you as Literary Host, to be coordinated with the PEN America team. Host selections are subject to author availability.

Due to the high demand of this event, floor seating cannot be guaranteed. It is highly recommended to pledge or purchase your tables as soon as possible.

Donations of $5,000 and above will be recognized in event materials. Please contact the Special Events Department at (646) 880-6116 or [email protected] with any questions.
