October Festival Update & Submissions
As of today, we are planning our annual Litquake Festival, October 7 - 23, featuring both in-person and virtual events. Submissions will open May 17 - June 15 for Litquake Festival and Lit Crawl San Francisco.

In-Person Programs Update
While the Bay Area's public health outlook is improving and quickly, we're not ready to announce any in-person programs for the spring and summer. We are likely to remain virtual through July, and will also be updating you about our festival plans around that time. Believe us, we will be hosting in-person events again as soon as we can. We miss you! We miss each other!

Epicenter, a Virtual Series
In the meantime, we're hosting free, virtual events (almost) weekly starting this Wednesday and running through the early summer, featuring all kinds of local poets, novelists, and tinkerers. Here's the full schedule. 

About Litquake
Litquake’s diverse live programs are created with the aim of inspiring critical engagement with the key issues of the day, bringing people together around the common humanity encapsulated in literature, and perpetuating a sense of literary community, as well as a vibrant forum for Bay Area writing. We believe in literature as a public good, so we work to produce events that are accessible to all. www.litquake.org
