The CWP Reading Series is made possible by generous support from the Lila Acheson Wallace Theater Fund, established in The New York Community Trust by the founders of the Reader's Digest Association. We are also grateful for additional support from Reeve Lindburgh.

The NYU Creative Writing Program, with permanent faculty members E. L. Doctorow, Galway Kinnell, Paule Marshall and Sharon Olds, has distinguished itself for two decades as a leading national center for the study of literature and writing. The Reading Series is a vital component of the Writing Program, bringing both established and new writers to NYU.
