Litquake is San Francisco's Literary Festival. Started in 1999, it's become the largest independent literary festival on the West Coast with upwards of 25,000 attendees, 125 local and national partners, and 200+ events annually. As Deputy Director, I have my hand in all programming and operations, as well as heading up all communications from managing the website to grant writing.
Here's what I'm most proud of from 2021:
- Produced a second successful year of Litquake Out Loud, a curatorial program I started for the Bay's BIPOC & LGBTQ+ writers. I'll be handing it over to a more worthy program lead in 2022.
- Helped Kidquake reach 4 times as many public school K-5 students as before
- Curated and produced events with Donald Antrim, Rabih Alameddine, Imani Cezanne, Jaime Cortez, Brandon Hobson, Tommy Orange, and many, many more lovely authors.
- Raised an additional $75,000 via donor campaigns and grants compared to 2019
