Litquake also sponsors Kidquake, which is hosting an event at USF this year. Kidquake at USF: Monsters in the Bookshelf will be held in Gleeson Library on October 15th, starting at 10:00 AM. Here's the link, http://www.litquake.org/calendar-of-events/event/kidquake-at-usf-monsters-in-the-bookshelf
Another aspect of this event is LitCrawl, which is happening on Saturday, October 15th. It will feature 450 readers and 79 readings in one night. http://litcrawl.org/sf/ If you want more information, this link will take you to the LitCrawl site, which has a list of times, places, and authors that will be reading this year.
Our potential Lorna Dee Cervantes event (fingers crossed!) would fit into a series of author events and interviews during Litquake. Here's one of the bigger events on Facebook --

Also, two upcoming Saturdays (10/22 and 10/29) we'll be participating in and filming readings during LitCrawl. Bring a short text that's important to you (preferably en español) and come prepared to read on camera. I'll post more information if you guys are interested!
