PENnames
PENnames is a circle of writers and journalists who commit to prioritizing support for PEN America with a gift of $1,000 or more. We hope to afford writers an opportunity to be politically engaged in a manner that feels meaningful to the literary community and to acknowledge those writers who provide financial contributions that sustain our work defending the freedom to write.

- Complimentary PEN America Professional Membership

- Invitation to the PEN America New Members/New Books party, a gathering of more than 350 established and emerging writers
