2026 EMPIRE STATE PEN SHOW
A weekend we shared.
Thank you to our visitors, exhibitors, instructors, volunteers, and sponsors for bringing the writing community together on November 7–8, 2026.
Every conversation, shared discovery, and handwritten word made this gathering our own. Thank you for keeping the joy of writing—and the connection it brings—alive.
Revisit the makers, workshops, and show-floor discoveries that made the weekend yours.
