AS PART OF The Yale Review's INITIATIVE TO MAKE thoughtful criticism and innovative literature accessible to a wide audience, we host timely readings and conversations with writers at Yale University and beyond. Each spring, The Yale Review Festival brings preeminent writers, critics, and editors together in New Haven for a week of talks, readings, and workshops. The Yale Review also hosts lunchtime talks throughout the academic year with writers and industry professionals, as well as readings and events in New York City. We hope you’ll join us at our next event! Subscribe to our newsletter to stay updated about upcoming events.
