Welcome to the website of the Penn & Pencil Club, a creative writing workshop for staff of the University of Pennsylvania! From a variety of backgrounds and University departments, Penn & Pencilers are writers of fiction, literary non-fiction, and poetry. We have among us several published writers, and the balance are hopeful. Over take-out Chinese and Indian dinners at the Kelly Writers House each month, we are encouraging, but not shy, in our criticism and very supportive of one another's writing. In addition to our critiquing sessions, we hold annual readings at the Writers House, take part in "Live at the Writers House" on 88.5 WXPN, and we participated in the city-wide Celebration of Philadelphia Writers in March 1999. We are also delighted to host visiting authors, and have enjoyed the company of fiction writer Walter Keady, first-time novelist Charlotte Bacon-Choyt, and sci-fi writer Michael Swanwick.
