Festival and Crawl Submissions are OPEN, May 17 - June 15

We CANNOT wait to read your submissions and to gather once again! This year we’re hoping to return to as much in-person programming as possible, but please consider your proposed event may need to be held online. 

What are we looking for? Everyone and every kind of story, tale, diegesis, chronicle, poem, etc under the sun. Click below for details. 

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
