Join your fellow LA PEN America members at our annual New Year New Books party to both celebrate all that literature brings us and defend the power of the written word! We’ll toast to our favorite books from 2025, hear what’s coming in the year ahead, share food and drink, and mingle with fellow writers, readers, and believers in the power of words to transform the world. We invite members and allies to join us in standing against censorship and for the joys that literature brings to our lives.
We will be celebrating alongside our Literary Host Committee, Laila Lalami, J.D. Mathes, Kathleen Sharp, and Sholeh Wolpe.
This is a member-exclusive event. If you are a member, please visit the member benefits page to access the registration link. Not a PEN America member? Join today!
