About the Fête

Before the First Novel Prize winner is announced at our Annual Awards Benefit, join us at The Center for Fiction to celebrate with the seven shortlisted authors. The First Novel Fête is one of our favorite traditions—a chance to gather for readings from the finalists' stunning work, catch up and mingle over snacks and drinks from our open bar, win door prizes from our generous sponsors, and receive personalized book recommendations and literary tarot consultations. This year's Fête once again promises to be a fun, festive evening—we can't wait to see you there.

Funds raised by the First Novel Fête support The Center's public events, Emerging Writer Fellowships, reading groups and writing workshops, and KidsRead / KidsWrite educational programming for New York City public school students.
