ACHF Arts Access
Graywolf publishes diverse and engaging contemporary literature that has the capacity to stimulate imagination and promote empathy among Minnesotans. Each book will be evaluated on the basis of artistic strength and diversity. Our outreach is evaluated by individual reader responses, event attendance, critical attention, and book sales. 2: Graywolf strengthens the Twin Cities literary community and increases the impact of literature in Minnesota through partnerships and collaboration. Literary community health is measured by the Creative Minnesota study, the caliber of events, and the vitality of bookstores and libraries. Graywolf evaluates the quality and number of our collaborations.
