Litro Live
Where Literature Leaves the Page
Readings, conversations, performances, salons, launches and cultural gatherings from Litro Magazine.
Litro Live began with landmark literary gatherings across London and internationally — readings, performances, festival collaborations and World Series events bringing writers, readers and cultural partners into the same room.
We are now rebuilding Litro Live for a new phase: live, digital and hybrid programming shaped around literature, culture, performance, publishing, craft and global conversation.
Programme Strands
Litro Live is being rebuilt as a flexible cultural programme, designed for intimate rooms, partner venues, festivals, classrooms, podcast recordings and digital audiences.
World Series Live
Country, city and region-focused cultural evenings linked to Litro’s international publishing programme.
Litro Salons
Intimate conversations with writers, artists, publishers, translators, editors and cultural thinkers.
Masterclass Live
Live workshops, tutor-led showcases and craft conversations connected to Litro’s writing masterclasses.
Litro Lab Live
Podcast recordings, audio storytelling, live interviews and experimental literary formats.
Upcoming Events
New Litro Live dates are currently being programmed. We are rebuilding the calendar for live, digital and hybrid events with writers, venues, cultural partners, universities, sponsors and readers.
