Are you a Lit! Lover?
Get Lit! Programs is proud to bring quality literary programs like Poetry Out Loud, Authors Tour, Writers in Residence, and of course, the Get Lit! Festival to the Inland Northwest. In order to continue this twelve-year-long tradition, we need your help. Become a Lit! Lover and join Eastern Washington University as we engage the Inland Northwest community in a celebration of the written word. To become a Lit! Lover, we are asking for a pledge between $50 and $100, plus a commitment that you will tell two friends who might match your donation to Get Lit! Programs. EWU’s College of Arts and Letters hopes for many more years of community arts engagement through programs like Get Lit! Thank you so much for considering a pledge. Any amount,large or small, is a great help. 
Get Lit! Programs is thrilled to announce some of our headliners for the 2010 Get Lit! Festival, including Richard Russo, author of the Pulitzer Prize-winning novel Empire Falls, and fiction writer Janet Fitch, most famously known as the author of Oprah's book club novel White Oleander. Dr. Reza Aslan, internationally acclaimed scholar of religions, will be here to discuss religion’s role in contemporary global conflict. Award-winning performance poet, Patricia Smith will join local jazz musicians for an evening of jazz poetry. For our younger readers, children’s author Janet Wong will read her poetry-laced stories and Victor Lodato, acclaimed playwright and Guggenheim Fellow, will read from his first novel Mathilda Savitch for young adults. The Festival will also feature thirty other local and regional authors, panel discussion, contests and workshops for al ages and genres. Mark your calendar for April 14-21, 2010 and don’t miss out!
Bring Authors Tour to Your School
Since 2003, Get Lit! Programs has brought published authors into K-12 schools in the Inland Northwest. Carefully chosen for their quality publications, genuine passion for writing, and energetic approach to working with youth, participating authors bring engaging programs into schools where many students have never met a “real author.” During their daylong visits, authors strive to give students and teachers a concrete, joyous, oh-my-gosh experience with literature. Check our authors available this year and bring an author to your school!
