EWU's Get Lit! Programs

Get Lit! Programs is a non-profit literary arts organization housed within Eastern Washington University. Our program is responsible for Get Lit! Festival, Washington State's longest-running annual literary festival, which has grown from a single day of readings to a four-day celebration of literature, including readings, writing workshops, craft classes, poetry slams, panel discussions, and more. 

Each year brings a diverse lineup of highly sought-after authors to our region, while also highlighting our local literary talent. It is our mission, both in our festival programming and our educational outreach, to advance the arts, celebrate and amplify diverse voices, and empower creativity.
