| Litquake Family,
Be the host of your very own virtual Litquake event! Litquake On Lockdown series opens for submissions this Monday 3/23! We know that people are in need of creative outlets and entertainment, so we're asking our supporters to host virtual events from the comfort of their homes (or anywhere with a strong internet connection). If you have an idea for a virtual event, send it our way! Our crack submissions team will be selecting a number to stream live to our audience. - Due to time/staff limitations, submissions are capped at 100.
- Submissions open: Monday 3/23
- Submissions close: Thursday 3/26
- Programs begin: Tuesday 3/31, events to run in the evenings
Event Details: - 1 hr maximum run time
- Streamed live on the Zoom platform
- All participants will receive a modest stipend as gratitude for their involvement
- All participants will have their photos and bios listed online
What we're looking for: - Not only for Bay Area locals! We’re opening submissions up to anyone and everyone. So many communities are affected by Covid-19--we’re all in this together.
- Those who can give a great interpretation of their work to a live audience
- Had a SF Bay Area book tour stop cancelled? We’d love to hear from you.
- Proposals for events with a clear topic and list of participating authors
- Including but not limited to: readings, storytelling, panels, interviews, one person shows, really anything with a literary bent! Just wow us.
Please submit electronically via Submittable. Manuscripts sent via email will not be considered. Litquake is committed to encouraging diversity in the literary world and promoting as wide a range of writers as possible, including (but not limited to) people of color, LGBTQ, diverse genders, people with disabilities, and ethnic, cultural, and religious minorities. |
