PENWrites is our international letter​-writing campaign in solidarity with writers in prison and at risk around the world.

For decades, PEN has supported writers who are persecuted, harassed, and imprisoned for exercising their right to freedom of expression, and PEN members have long supported fellow writers by sending letters of support.

Sign up to the PENWrites mailing list to find out how you can support our featured writers. We’ll be in touch with details of their cases, PENWrites events, and the latest case developments as they unfold.
