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.

Where does our money go? Click here to see.

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.
