Introduction	Pratt Institute's bi-weekly reading series and discussion seminar specifically for students in Pratt Institute’s Writing Program. Though the series is curated by faculty directors, the Writer's Forum readings are fundamentally student-run. The writing majors in the course are responsible for researching, introducing, and engaging in discussion the working writers and editors who present, perform, and/or speak about their work. To our advantage, New York City is the center of North American publishing and the home to various, dynamic literary communities old and new, and this forum is an extension of the living literature that finds its audience here. Writer's Forum is a place to consider the ideas, motivations, methodologies, and careers of both local and visiting writers—among them essayists, novelists, poets, journalists, playwrights, screenwriters, editors, translators, critics, and performers—and to join in thoughtful conversations about writing with professionals in the field.
