Litquake's Tenth

Full schedule available now!
Litquake plans a real page-turner of a celebration to commemorate our ten-year anniversary! The West Coast's largest literary festival opens on Friday, October 9 with "Black, White and Read: Litquake's Book Ball," featuring performances from the worlds of opera, jazz, classical music and the circus!
The following eight days of programming will include a star-studded Amy Tan roast/tribute emceed; a Bay Area punk history collaboration with Porchlight Storytelling Series; an evening of original short fiction in conjunction with the Evolve 2009 celebration of Charles Darwin's 200th birthday; the notorious Literary Death Match; a night of poetry at Grace Cathedral; events devoted to genre fiction, food writing, women's lit, underground publishing, and the "Gay Menace."
Plus film screenings, staged theater readings, panel discussions, workshops for writers, events for teens and children, and closing night's Lit Crawl on October 17—a literary pub crawl through the Mission District, featuring over 50 venues in a single evening!
