Conceived in the communitarian spirit, the Writers House provides a warm and welcoming home within [[University of Pennsylvania|Penn]]'s pre-professional culture for wild freethinkers, capacious scholars, voracious readers, and creative writers of all styles and stripes. We host an almost outrageous array of writing-related projects, programs, and activities for the Penn and Philadelphia communities: tutoring and literacy outreach projects, reading and writing groups, classes and workshops, book parties and book drives, poetry readings and open mic nights, catered dinners and impromptu coffee klatches. 

More than five hundred people come to the Writers House each week. Penn undergraduates take creative writing classes here and meet friends in the kitchen to chat over coffee. The House is home base and production office for our many student-produced publications. Grade school kids visit on Fridays and Saturdays to play writing games and chess with Penn students. We host writers from all over the world for readings, recordings, interviews, webcasts, podcasts, and dinners. We welcome partnerships with programs and organizations from Penn and all over Philadelphia. Literary enthusiasts gather on and around the green couch to study, write, read, and talk shop. All of these people make up the Kelly Writers House community.
