Our 2020 festival is 100% VIRTUAL! 16 days • 60 events • 150 authors • 12 hr Lit Crawl International & SF Stay tuned for more!
Last week we wrapped on our virtual series, Litquake on Lockdown, which has been airing a few times a week since April, all in the name of keeping you engaged in the key ideas of the day and connected to one another. Today, before we turn our full attention to the October festival, we need your help to grow this conversation and our message of bringing people together around literature. Litquake relies on gifts from individuals like you to support our event creators, writers, and thinkers. You allow us to provide the necessary support and technological structures needed to make these programs happen. This year, more than ever, small donations keep Litquake going. During LQ on Lockdown, we raised $2500 purely via $1-5 donations. Please consider making a contribution today.
You make Litquake happen! We look forward to seeing you again in October!
Every gift of $100 or more receives a complimentary mug celebrating our brief flirtation with fame—the dulcet sound of “Litquake” in Alex Trebek’s mouth on a January episode of Jeopardy!

About Litquake Words Matter.
