• Litquake abstract "Litquake is San Francisco's annual literary festival. Originally starting out as Litstock for a single day on July 16, 1999, it ran for two years under the same name before going dark in 2001 after the event of 9/11 of that year. It re-emerged in 2002 with a new name, determined to make the most of the fact that according to USA Today, San Francisco has the highest per capita consumption of both alcohol and books. Consisting of readings, discussions, and themed events held at different Bay Area venues, the annual festival features predominantly Bay Area authors but opens a limited number of slots for those from the outside, and kicks off during either the first or second weekend of October, depending on the year. The Litquake Literary Project produces the event, while Intersection for the Arts and others provide fiscal sponsorship.The first year under the Litquake name, 2002, included over 60 authors and four venues. At the 2003 festival, 100 authors participated over four days. By 2004, the event had grown to 175 authors and nine days. The nine-day 2005 festival included 250 Bay Area participating authors and 6,975 attendees. The 2006 festival hit the 7833 attendee mark and included over 300 authors as well as Litquake's first ever movie, the cartoon Best Book Ever.2011's festival saw a total attendance of 16,581, a 23% increase over 2010.In 2012, Litquake featured a total of 860 authors over the course of the 9 day festival.Jack Boulware and Jane Ganahl are the co-founders and Artistic Directors, while Elise Proulx is the Executive Director.The Lit CrawlIn 2004, Litquake launched its first ever “Lit Crawl,” a literary pub-crawl through the Mission District of San Francisco. Readings and performances were rolled out in three sequential phases over the course of the Crawl, resulting in a final phase where each venue was found to be standing room only. Because of this, the following year it was decided that the Crawl was well suited to close the festival, a place in the schedule it has maintained ever since. By 2012 the Lit Crawl had expanded to over 80 venues, including bars, cafes, bookstores, theaters, galleries, clothing boutiques, furniture showrooms, parking lots, a Laundromat and even a bee-keeping store.In 2009, The New York Times wrote about the Crawl in an article freighting the headline: In San Francisco, Literature as Carnival.Other Crawls have been added over the years: Lit Crawl NYC debuted in 2008; Lit Crawl Austin in 2011; Lit Crawl Brooklyn and Lit Crawl Seattle in 2012. Lit Crawl Iowa City debuted at the Mission Creek Festival in Spring of 2013; Lit Crawl Los Angeles is scheduled for the Fall of 2013. Plans call for the addition of a Lit Crawl London in either 2013 or 2014.The Barbary Coast AwardInitiated in 2007, Litquake’s Barbary Coast Award is given for literary achievement and in recognition of those who value the independent—and sometimes unruly—spirit of theBay Area and keep it alive in their work. Its name is meant to evoke San Francisco’s storied pirate and nonconformist beginnings as well as a nod to Armistead Maupin’squixotic characters who made their home on Barbary Lane. Recipients so far:2007: Armistead Maupin; 2008: Tobias Wolff; 2009: Amy Tan; 2010: Lawrence Ferlinghetti/City Lights Books; 2011: Ishmael Reed; 2012: Poetry FlashDigi.litOn June 29, 2013, Litquake had its first digi.lit conference at the SPUR Urban Center in San Francisco. Digi.lit was a digital publishing conference designed to explain and demystify the new digital publishing landscape. Litquake brought in authors, publishers, editors, marketers, agents, and booksellers, and conference attendees were able to meet the innovators who continue to push the boundaries of digital books.".
