Hello Litquakers,

The day is finally here. Our entire schedule for Litquake 2022 is now available!
Take A Look
There’s a lot to absorb, so take a deep breath and dive in. This year, we feature all genres, from sci-fi to fiction, memoir, film, storytelling and more. Don’t forget to tag @Litquake or use the hashtag #Litquake2022, and let us know which events excite you the most!
In the coming weeks, you’ll be seeing this poster everywhere! Your local bookstore, your favorite bar, at the home of your most interesting friend, and, of course, at each and every Litquake event this October.

Look familiar? You’re onto something. For this year's poster art,
our artist Chris Koehler took inspiration from the 1955 science fiction classic It Came from Beneath the Sea. We absolutely love San Francisco, but who doesn’t love seeing it overwhelmed by a bit of chaos? We’re used to it! Sure, this mysterious creature from unknown depths is causing municipal havoc, but it’s also distributing some literature in the process. We can relate.
