The Americas Society maintains an active schedule of bilingual readings, lectures, book presentations, and conferences featuring Latin American, Caribbean and Canadian writers and scholars. This diverse programming provides a forum for writers and a resource information for literary professionals.

Literature events have included a subvention program for the translation of over 80 works of Latin American literature, including Gabriel García Márquez's One Hundred Years of Solitude. Many of the writers in literature programs have been published in the Americas Society's literary magazine, Review: Literature and Arts of the Americas. Review, the major U.S. forum for contemporary Latin American writing in English translation and for coverage on the Latin American arts, has a readership of 5,000. It has received numerous awards such as the Phoenix Award for Outstanding Editorial Achievement from the Council of Editors of Learned Journals.
