Poets & Writers Directory

Well over ten thousand poets, writers of literary prose, and translators maintain listings in this essential resource for literary artists who are interested in connecting with their peers—as well as editors, agents, and reading series coordinators looking for authors and translators for new projects. Use the filters below to find writers you know or to establish new connections.

Note: We recently added more options from which writers can choose to identify themselves. We also introduced additional filters to help visitors find writers. Since these updates are new, fewer search results may be returned than usual. Please check back often as the Poets & Writers Directory expands!
