Each fall, the editors and staff of American Short Fiction host a grand celebration that recognizes literary excellence, extraordinary literary service, and a debut writer from Texas. We had to postpone our party last year because of the pandemic, but we’re so excited to see everyone at last on our new date, April 16, 2022, at a beautiful new venue in Austin’s Pease Park.

This year, we’ll celebrate and honor literary stars Yiyun Li, Stacey Swann, Danielle Evans, and Meg Kuehn. For full details and to purchase your tickets, visit our Stars at Night events page.
