Membership is a commitment. Every PEN member upholds these eight principles.
We keep our word, in public and in private.
We hold our work to the highest professional standard.
We build with others rather than compete against them.
We own our commitments and our outcomes.
We give value before we expect value.
We honour every member's dignity, time and expertise.
We stay students of our craft.
We represent PEN with grace in every room.
