San Francisco's Literary Festival will announce their program shortly.
SF/Arts Curator Insight
San Francisco’s literary festival, which turned 25 last year, is the absolute best way to get a crash course on the local ecosystem of readings, publishers and bookstores, with well over 100 events in 2.5 weeks that cater to all ages and tastes and feature writers from around the world alongside those who call the Bay home. A majority of the events are free. The final day of the fest, Lit Crawl, is an annual highlight of the city’s cultural happenings.

Litquake’s diverse live programs are created with the aim of inspiring critical engagement with the key issues of the day, bringing people together around the common humanity encapsulated in literature, and perpetuating a sense of literary community, as well as a vibrant forum for Bay Area writing. We believe in literature as a public good, so we work to produce events that are accessible to all.
