大紐約區海外台灣人筆會(簡稱筆會)成立於 2003年 11月 29日,成立大會在佳壇台語教會擧行。主要的創辦人包括林興隆牧師、楊慶安、蔡榮聰、王淑芬、林淑麗、廖登豐等愛好寫作的朋友。

二十多年來,筆會每年都舉辦年會,提供演講、著作發表及聚餐聯誼。發表的著作一般收錄於筆會年刊、台美文集及台灣海外網(www.taiwanus.net)。除了年會,筆會也舉辦線上的演講及其他的聯誼活動。

筆會提倡台美人以積極進取的態度,通過著作及各種形式的創意,發揚台灣人的主體意識,關心社會公義與台灣全民的福祉,強化命運共同體的精神。

自2024年起,筆會採用「以文會友,分享台美人經驗;齊聚一堂,關懷台灣人福祉」為標語,清晰傳達筆會的精神及著作、活動的重點。同年,筆會建立了網站(www.taiwanpenclub.org),作為發表著作、創意與聯繫溝通的平台,分享會員的正面、開放、有建設性的各種著作與創意。

The Greater New York Region Overseas Taiwanese Pen Club

The Great New York Area Taiwanese Overseas Pen Club (abbreviated as Pen Club) was established on November 29, 2003, with the founding meeting held at the Jiatan Taiwanese Church (佳壇台語教會). The main founders include 林興隆牧師、楊慶安、蔡榮聰、王淑芬、林淑麗、廖登豐 along with other friends who are passionate about writing.

Over the past twenty years, the Pen Club has held an annual meeting each year, offering speeches, publishing articles, and social dinners. The published works are generally included in the Pen Club Yearbook (筆會年刊), the Taiwanese-American Literary Collection (台美文集), and the Taiwan Overseas Network (www.taiwanus.net) (台灣海外網). In addition to the annual meeting, the Pen Club also hosts online lectures and other social activities.

The Pen Club advocates for Taiwanese-Americans to adopt a proactive attitude, promoting Taiwanese identity through writings and various forms of creativity, caring for social justice, and the well-being of all Taiwanese people, and strengthening the spirit of a community with a shared future.

Starting in 2024, the Pen Club has adopted the slogan, “Sharing the Taiwanese-American Experience through Literature and Art, and Advocating for Taiwan’s Well-being through Conferences and Speeches” clearly conveying the spirit and focus of the Pen Club’s works and activities. In the same year, the Pen Club established a website (www.taiwanpenclub.org) as a platform for publishing works, creativity, and communication, sharing members’ positive, open, and constructive writings and creativity.
