2025 Deborah Pease Prize

Every fall, A Public Space hosts a party to celebrate the Deborah Pease Prize. This year, we are delighted to be honoring author, editor, and critic Ed Park, “one of the most generous and supportive figures in publishing.”

Join us on Monday, October 20 in New York City for an evening of cocktails and conversation with friends from the literary, arts, and publishing communities.

Tickets are available here.
