Submit Your Proposals for the 2025 Fall Lit Fest!


Register Here

 

Registration is now open for Lit Youngstown's 8th Fall Literary Festival live in Youngstown, Oh! October 17-19. We are thrilled you'll be joining us. Registration will be open until September 15, or all seats are filled (no walk-ins, please). Registration is now closed.  

​

This year's festival will feature 145 accomplished presenters from California to Maryland and Rhode Island to Florida, presenting on understanding, writing, teaching, translating, editing and publishing literature. Discover your new favorite writer; peruse the dozens of bookfair tables; get a jump on a new piece of writing; join a discussion on writing programs in the community college, publishing as a small press, nature and eco writing, coming to writing late in life, and so much more.

​

Registration is also open for bookfair tables (small presses, literary journals,  businesses and programs; no individual authors, please). Bring your hardworking crew to this robust conference of hundreds of literary enthusiasts from across the country. We don't charge a table fee, but ask that all of your table staffers please register. Bookfair registration is now closed.

​

We hope you find our high quality conference affordable. If you are experiencing economic hardship, we invite you to click "Request a sponsorship." If you can swing it, please consider clicking "Sponsor a struggling writer." Here in Youngstown, we understand the importance of lowering barriers.
