Commonwealth Reading Series

Massachusetts Cultural Council (MCC) is proud to present a series of readings featuring fellows and finalists from MCC’s Artist Fellowship Program.

Every two years, the MCC awards grants to some of the most exciting and talented writers in the Commonwealth. Since its inception in 1974, the fellowship has been awarded to writers who have since risen to national prominence, such as Robert Pinsky, Sue Miller, Tim O’Brien, and Tom Perrotta.

Read bios of this year’s participants - and check out our series of nano-interviews with readers and event partners.

All events are free and open to the public.
