Pen Pals Author Lecture Series

Pen Pals brings literary heavyweights to the Hopkins Center for the Arts, where the sight lines are great and the parking is free. The 2026-27 season marks its 30th year, with names like Lily King, Patrick Radden Keefe, and Tayari Jones. Each writer gives a lecture and takes questions, and the room feels intimate even when the author is a household name.
