Without you, we’re nothing

Litquake hasn’t become the West Coast’s most daring, innovative, and exciting literary festival on its own. Individuals like you have helped us grow and prosper – and helped keep more than 70% of our events free to the public, from our one-of-a-kind Lit Crawl to Barely Published Authors to our new in-school author events for San Francisco schoolchildren.

The New York Times calls San Francisco, “a city of readers who seem to view books not only as a pleasure, but as a cause.” Join our cause to celebrate the written and spoken word by bringing together a community of writers and readers dedicated to making literature available for sustenance to all.

Become a member of our literary community by supporting us at one of the “bestseller” levels below. All supporters will get a sneak peek at Litquake fall festival programming before information is released to the general public.
