Submissions are open for 25th anniversary Litquake Festival & Lit Crawl San Francisco! Since 1999, San Francisco's annual Litquake literary festival has drawn book-lovers of all types to enjoy words and ideas, straight from the artists' mouths. This year's festival will be our 25th, and runs from October 10–26, 2024. Each year, we rely on submissions from authors, artists, and curators just like you. We are committed to creating greater diversity in the literary world and promoting as wide a range of writers as possible. We're accepting submissions until March 31.
About Litquake Litquake seeks to foster interest in literature, perpetuate a sense of literary community, and provide a vibrant forum for Bay Area writing as a complement to the city's music, film, and cultural festivals. 2023 Dates: Oct. 5-21. www.litquake.org
