Free Community Literary Events on Maryland's Eastern Shore
Our Mission: |
Shore Lit Visiting Writers: |
Shore Lit is based in Easton, Maryland, and aims to enhance local cultural offerings with free, community literary events open to the public. Our events are designed to:
We host visiting writers in the fall and spring seasons in partnership with other local organizations. Additionally, we have hosted a variety of community-focused events, including a summer bookclub series, a College Writers Showcase, poetry readings, a book drive supporting the Maryland Commission on African American History and Culture, and a PRIDE pop-up bookshop, featuring queer lit for all ages, as part of the Delmarva Pride Festival. In 2025, we are launching our first youth and literacy focused programs, including a Volunteer Reading Mentor initiative and a paid high school internship. We love being a part of this vibrant, diverse community and hope to see you at an upcoming event! |
