“In the spirit of joy, hope and possibility, join us for an evening of poetry as we encourage folks to get out and vote this November. This event is not affiliated with any organized group or entity—just a Pittsburgh-based grassroots effort as in years past.
Co-hosted by Joan E. Bauer and Kristofer Collins, and featuring Doralee Brooks, Sheila Carter-Jones, Lori Jakiela, Joy Katz, Dave Newman, Adriana E. Ramirez, Fred Shaw, Michael Simms, Anastasia Walker & Don Wentworth…”

Founded by three publishing professionals in 2015, Littsburgh showcases Pittsburgh as a hub of literary talent and activity while serving as a resource to foster further collaboration and connection within Pittsburgh’s vibrant literary community.
Littsburgh is a passion project and has been since inception.
Because we’re self-powered, we’ve been able to continue promoting literary Pittsburgh without having to compromise our vision or our mission — and without having to close up shop because of lack of funding. Our goal is for Littsburgh to be here for the long haul… and we’re only getting bigger and better every year!
As our audience has grown, however, so have our operating costs: hosting is increasingly expensive, spreading the word about literary Pittsburgh to our readers via social media channels requires paid “boosts,” and we’re investing literally hundreds of volunteer hours into the site every year.
With a small donation, one time or (even better!) recurring, you can help ensure that Littsburgh continues to grow and thrive.
Help us spread the word about literary Pittsburgh!
