PEN World Voices: The New York Festival of International Literature was launched in 2005. PEN World Voices is a week-long literary festival in New York City. The Festival was launched by PEN President Salman Rushdie. The Festival was composed of programs, readings, conversations, and debates that showcase international literature and new writers. The Festival is produced by PEN American Center, a nonprofit organization that works to advance literature, promote free expression, and foster international literary fellowship.

The festival is now in its seventh year, and this year brings many changes, including a new director and a new home. For the first time ever, the festival will take place on and around the High Line and at The Standard, New York, though we’ll be producing events at some favorite former festival venues, too.
