Events
Since 2010, CLHOF has celebrated, honored, and preserved Chicago’s great literary heritage—through ceremonies, discussions, tours, exhibits, prizes, and much more. Our work supports past, present, and future authors. In addition to our rigorous programming schedule, we also create regular content focused on our authors, books, and literary community. We believe that literature is the foundation of a compassionate, thoughtful, creative society, and endeavor to be a positive influence on Chicago’s great cultural community.
We offer much of what we do—especially our induction and Fuller Award ceremonies, along with our Randall Albers Young Writers Awards—free to the general public. As a small nonprofit enterprise, we rely on individual contributions and a small number of fundraisers. Our major 2026 fundraiser is a silent auction that opens on October 30 and closes on December 10. Manuscript consultations, getaway stays, theatre and sports tickets, museum memberships, artwork and a lot else are amongst our offerings. Do yourself and us a favor and bid to win.
