Join us for the 8th Annual LitFest -- our free writer's conference!

LitFest celebrates writers and content creators from all genres, skill levels, and mediums. Choose from over 30 sessions presented by writing professionals and take your writing to the next level! Visit exhibitor booths, win raffle prizes, and meet your next critique partner.

Sessions will happen every hour from 10am-4pm. Feel free to come and go as you please. Visit our vendors to learn more about local writing groups, publishers, resources and more. Our partner bookstore, Second Story Books, will be on hand at LitFest, selling books by our presenting authors. You can even pick up an exclusive signed copy at the event and meet your favorite author!

While most writer’s conferences cost hundreds of dollars to attend, LitFest is always free! It’s a great place to meet fellow writers, learn something new, get serious about your writing, move closer to achieving your goals, find inspiration and just have fun!

Street parking is free on Saturdays. If you can’t find a street spot, tell your GPS to take you to the Arts District Parking Garage. Parking is only $2/hour with a $10 max.
