All proceeds from the evening will go to support the Stories Matter Foundation scholarship programs for young writers, and the Chicago Review of Books. Stories Matter Foundation is the parent organization of StoryStudio Chicago, the Chicago Review of Books, and Chicago Stories Project. We build communities of storytellers trained to question, explore, celebrate, and change their worlds using the power of story.

And this year, we’re introducing a new award, named after the Chicago Review of Books’ founder, Adam Morgan. The Adam Morgan Literary Citizen Award is given to a person who has made outstanding contributions to Chicago’s literary scene. Adam was honored to name Ydalmi Noriega, Community and Foundation Relations Director at the Poetry Foundation as this year’s recipient. Read more about Adam’s choice here.
