Graywolf Press 2026 Reader Survey

Graywolf Press publishes books and produces author programming in an effort to introduce new ideas and fresh language to readers and the broader culture. Our goal is to support and amplify a wide range of stories (and the people who tell them) because we believe they are an essential way to understand contemporary life. Through our publishing program, we hope to inspire people to be self-reflective, creative, and compassionately engaged with others .

Please consider taking a few minutes to participate in our survey of readers. By answering the questions below, you will help Graywolf Press assess with accuracy and sensitivity whether we are meeting our goals. Your participation will also help us report to our institutional funders as part of our requirements for receiving grants. All responses will be anonymous unless you register for the Graywolf giveaway of a full season (10-12 books) at the conclusion of the survey.
