Put Down the Books and Head Out of the House
Litquake is San Francisco’s literary festival.
Since our inception in 1999 our mission has been to galvanize the Bay Area’s already thriving literary scene by bringing emerging, mid-career and established local authors together with fans of the written word for nine days of readings, panel discussions, themed events, and general literary mayhem.
Litquake is for folks who get excited by reading, writing or both. It is an opportunity to put down the books and head out of the house to a bar, movie theater, park, or auditorium to hear your favorite writers read, perform or just talk.
This year’s festival—featuring over 300 authors over 8 days—will take place October 6-13, 2007.
Litquake has been featured or mentioned in a number of print articles, radio programs as well as blogs, including the San Francisco Chronicle, 7 x 7 magazine, San Francisco magazine, the Contra Costa Times, USA Today, London’s Guardian, West Coast Live, KALW, KGO,C-SPAN Book TV, Air America Radio and more.
Press releases for 2007 are available on this site from the time of their release, as are downloadable logos and images. We ask that any photos used be accompanied by the photo credit supplied with the image.
