    Littsburgh 2.0 – Coming Soon!

    We’re currently planning phase two of Littsburgh (“Celebrating Literary Pittsburgh Since 2015!”)

    We won’t be updating the site for the time being, but will be posting updates to our Substack (littsburgh.substack.com) when we have news to share… so be sure to subscribe to stay in the loop!

    Yours in books,

    Nick Courage and Rachel Ekstrom Courage

    P.S. Nick won’t be checking or replying to Littsburgh emails again until we’re back in the swing of things . . . but if you need to reach us for other opportunities, the contact forms on the websites linked above—and here’s Katie’s site—go straight to our personal email accounts (and we’re on all the usual social media platforms).

    Support Littsburgh!
    Littsburgh™ is the online destination for the writers, publishing professionals, organizers, institutions, and readers who make Pittsburgh one of the world’s most literary cities.

    Founded by three publishing professionals in 2015, Littsburgh showcases Pittsburgh as a hub of literary talent and activity while serving as a resource to foster further collaboration and connection within Pittsburgh’s vibrant literary community.

    Littsburgh is a passion project and has been since inception.

    Because we’re self-powered, we’ve been able to continue promoting literary Pittsburgh without having to compromise our vision or our mission — and without having to close up shop because of lack of funding. Our goal is for Littsburgh to be here for the long haul… and we’re only getting bigger and better every year!

    As our audience has grown, however, so have our operating costs: hosting is increasingly expensive, spreading the word about literary Pittsburgh to our readers via social media channels requires paid “boosts,” and we’re investing literally hundreds of volunteer hours into the site every year.

    With a small donation, one time or (even better!) recurring, you can help ensure that Littsburgh continues to grow and thrive.

    Donate!

    Help us spread the word about literary Pittsburgh!
