Word Works 2016–2017 Season

A season pass includes tickets to all Word Works events. These talks by novelists, essayists, poets, and memoirists draw back the curtain on the process of writing. Each talk by a guest writer focuses on a specific element of craft. The talks are followed by an interview with a noted editor, writer, or critic. 

At $12 for general admission per event, Word Works events are the most affordable place around to glean writing wisdom from top-notch writres, and for readers to gain more insight into works that they love. 

When you purchase a season pass, you're saving 10% on tickets plus getting exclusive access to VIP passes. VIP passes are sold separately on an event-by-event basis. Check individual event listings for VIP information.
