LIT FEST 2021 is entirely virtual from June 4th to June 13the. This year’s program includes workshops, weekend intensives, seminars, and events á la carte. Tickets and passes are on sale now. 

The Lit Fest 2021 also features 16 visiting authors, including Hanif Abdurraqib, Bryan Washington, Steve Almond, Sarah Ruhl, Emily Rapp Black, Jaquira Díaz, Carolyn Forché, Sheila Heti, Leslie Jamison, Mat Johnson, Layli Long Soldier, Helen DeWitt, T Kira Madden, Rebecca Makkai, Gregory Pardlo, and Azareen Van der Vliet Oloomi.

The Business Panels topics are geared towards how to pitch editors, the 2021 publishing landscape, ethical considerations for writers, and more. Submit your questions via chat. 

Lit Fest passholders have the opportunity to meet with agents. Given their busy schedules, this is a rare chance to receive their direct feedback and advice, and to ask them your own burning questions.

Craft seminars are designed to help writers of all levels break through creative blocks and gain new insight into particular topics, techniques, or genres. Most seminars are capped at 15–24 participants; seminars with an asterisk next to their title can accommodate 25 participants and more.

Stick around after class and enjoy some of the free evening events, including visiting authors’ readings and conversations, parties, and dynamic discussions and performances featuring three or more speakers with varying perspectives on a theme.

The Lit Fest pass price starts at $440. For a full list of prices and registration check this link.
