I hope you heard about this somewhere else because it already started! The hip, cool, see and be seen, opportunity to meet that elusive novelist you’ve always had a crush on, literary extravaganza of San Francisco is here!
My friends Tara Weaver and Kevin Smokler are two of the volunteers that work on this shindig extraordinaire. And I’m pretty excited to get to participate this year.
Here is the calendar of events that will continue throughout the week.
And of course, come see me!
I’ll be reading/speaking/drinking at the travel corner of the Litquake Pub Crawl this Friday, October 15. Come join us! Here’s where we’ll be and who else will be there….
THE WIDE WORLD OF TRAVEL WRITING
Venue: Abandoned Planet, 518 Valencia Street, All Ages
Travelers’ Tales
Jennifer L. Leo, Michael Shapiro, Judy Zimola, Larry Habegger, MC

Other publishers, magazines, zines on this crawl include:HarperSanFrancisco, Watchword, The Believer, Manic D Publishers, Cleis Press, SEAL PRESS, MACADAM/CAGE PUBLISHING, CHRONICLE BOOKS, Last Gasp, Public House Press, Writers With Drinks, Suspect Thoughts, and events with themes of Young Adult, Hot Erotica, Graphic Storytellers, and much much more.
I want to check out the readings and shenanigans at 826 Valencia. I hear that the folks there are quite good at arm wrestling.
And if you love the the community appreciation for writers that Litquake has and continues to build in the Bay Area, please consider volunteering.
See you there!
