LitFest
LitFest provides a platform for conversations that challenge, intrigue, and inspire. From economy and ecology to personal stories and cultural commentary, we strive to present important and diverse topics to our audiences.
Our authors and presenters come from all walks of life, and each one is remunerated for their participation at LitFest. Every year we engage 50+ writers and support their work, and all donations we receive contribute to the costs of festival programming.
