Chautauqua Literary Arts Friends (formerly known as Chautauqua Readers & Writers) is an organization of people who appreciate and support the literary arts, whether they are writers or readers. Throughout the Chautauqua summer season, CLAF provides social and intellectual events that bring together people who enjoy prose, poetry, and nonfiction of all types. The organization is also instrumental in supporting Chautauqua, the Writers’ Center’s nationally recognized literary journal whose contributors have been honored in many ways, including the prestigious Pushcart Prize.

Members receive:

• A copy of the Chautauqua literary journal
• Invitations for members-only events during the Chautauqua season
• Inclusion in the online Pubs List for published authors
