Founded in 1922, PEN America stands at the intersection of literature and human rights to protect free expression in the United States and worldwide. As the largest of more than 100 centers that make up the PEN International network, PEN America has been a leading voice in defending the rights of writers, journalists, scholars, and librarians for over a century. The organization works tirelessly to combat censorship, track book bans across public schools and libraries, and provide safety support to writers and media professionals facing threats for their work.

PEN America hosts significant public programming and events, including the prestigious PEN World Voices Festival of International Literature. The organization honors outstanding voices through its Literary Awards program, recognizing achievements in translation, fiction, poetry, science writing, essays, biography, children's literature, and drama. Additionally, PEN America's Prison and Justice Writing program has supported the freedom to write inside U.S. prisons for over half a century, extending literary access to incarcerated individuals. With offices in New York, Los Angeles, Washington D.C., and Florida, PEN America continues to unite writers and their allies to celebrate creative expression and defend the liberties that make it possible.
