This guide was designed to show you how to present a reading or workshop, and to help you bring into reality the kind of literary event you'd like to have. We also want to give the new sponsor encouragement, an idea of what to expect, and information about the Poets & Writers' Readings/Workshops Program, which provides funding up to $1,000 per year per organization to supplement writers' fees for readings and workshops. Although current funding restricts grants to events that take place in New York State, California, Chicago, or Detroit, writers from any state may participate.
