What Comes Next
Litro Live! is returning: words, music, conversation and culture in the same room.
We’ll bring together writers, readers, artists, musicians, publishers, students and cultural partners for readings, salons, launches, workshops, World Series evenings and live recordings.
Some nights will centre on new writing. Others will explore a city, country, theme or cultural moment. All will be built around the same idea: good people, good words, good conversation.
The programme is being shaped now, with new dates, venues and partner announcements to follow.
