Members of our Fiction Circle (previously our Founders Society) share a commitment to the power of stories. When you make a donation to The Center for Fiction, you become a part of a vibrant community of supporters that ensure a strong future for fiction. Your gift helps us provide access to books, support emerging writers, introduce children to contemporary books and authors through our KidsRead program, and nurture diverse readers of all ages through our educational and public programs. As a nonprofit, The Center relies on this essential support from our community so that we can continue to make an impact for hundreds of thousands of readers and writers here in Brooklyn and across the world.

We are so grateful for this crucial support from our Fiction Circle donors, and we hope you will stay connected through our events and programs, and experience the joy of fiction here at The Center throughout the year, with special invitations and opportunities to deepen your engagement.
