Vision

House of SpeakEasy celebrates the transformative power of literature by connecting writers and readers across generations, helping audiences to think constructively and engage critically with ideas and books. We are dedicated to the idea that literature matters, and that the essence of literary culture is the relationship between writers and their readers. To foster that relationship, SpeakEasy seeks to: • Bring authors out from behind the book into direct contact with audiences • Ensure that writers are compensated for their work and their time • Stimulate the students, audiences, and writers of tomorrow by exposing them to the best writing of today We support writers and the next generation of storytellers. Our goal with partners is to showcase brands and creators alike through our events and custom activations focused on community, literature, diversity, and discovery.
