The First Novel Fête is one of The Center for Fiction’s favorite traditions, celebrating the seven authors shortlisted for their First Novel Prize. Gather at The Center for Fiction to enjoy readings from the finalists’ work, catch up and mingle over snacks and drinks from our open bar, win door prizes from our generous sponsors, and more. This year’s Fête once again promises to be a fun, festive evening—The Center for Fiction can’t wait to see you there.
