Collaborations & Partnerships
On an regular basis the Writers House partners with Philadelphia organizations and departments at
Penn to create innovative programs that bring together new audiences and communities of writers. Together
with the
Office of the Provost
, we inaugurated the
The Common Press
a collaboration with the
Van Pelt Library
and the
Fine Arts Department
, which brings poets and artists together
to make fine letterpress books and broadsides. We produce a podcast series,
PoemTalk
in partnership with
PennSound
and the
Poetry Foundation
Regular collaborations with Penn departments and programs— the
Creative Writing Program
, the
Jewish Studies Program
, the
Alice Paul Center
the
English Department
Civic House
, and the
Department of Romance Languages
, among many others— expand the scope and reach
of our mission every year. If you have an idea for a collaboration or partnership, don't hesitate to contact us at wh@writing.upenn.edu.
