At the #PENLitAwards, we took the chance to ask some of the best writers around to share (if they would) their best (and their worst) writing advice. Here's what we heard. #writing #writers #writingadvice

The 2026 PEN America World Voices Festival is just one week away! Join is in NYC April 29-May 2 for unforgettable conversations with incredible writers—about literature, humanity, democracy, and more. Dozens of events, many free! Details: https://worldvoices.pen.org/ #PENWorldVoices #WorldVoices

What kind of unhinged writing habits lead to a book series like Game Changers and a TV phenomenon like Heated Rivalry? "I'll be like, let's just start having the characters have a conversation and see where it goes," said bestselling author Rachel Reid on the red carpet at the 2026 #PENGala.

"We've got ghost stories, dark academia, queerness, family drama, dystopia, and more." Erica, our Digital Production Manager, explains why #PENWorldVoices is a literary festival you won't want to miss. Join us April 29 – May 2, 2026 in New York and Los Angeles. Full details: worldvoices.pen.org
