The Poets & Writers Gala | In Celebration of Writers


The Poets & Writers Gala celebrates the indispensable contributions of writers both to our national discourse and to the inner lives of readers. Funds raised will enable Poets & Writers to provide broad access to information about publishing and help writers from all backgrounds connect with opportunities, advance their careers, and build community. 

The 2027 Gala will take place on Tuesday, March 30, at Pier Sixty in New York City. Greg Greeley, CEO of Simon & Schuster, is our gala chair. 

We are currently inviting sponsorships for the 2027 Poets & Writers Gala. A limited number of individual tickets (priced at $1,500 each) will be offered at a later date. If you'd like to be notified when tickets become available, please contact [email protected].
