    “We are delighted to invite you to Stories Like Me’s One Year Anniversary Party, “Feed Your Neighbor, Feed Your Mind” on February 24th, 2023, from 1pm to 4pm.

    As part of the event, we are excited to welcome Erin Frankel, author of A Plate of Hope : The Inspiring Story of Chef José Andrés and World Central Kitchen, who will be reading and signing books on the day, beginning at 1:30pm.

    During the festivities we will be doing a donation drive for the JFCS Squirrel Hill Food Pantry, which is directly across the street from us. If you bring a food or personal hygiene donation for JFCS, Stories Like Me will give you a coupon to use on the day towards your purchase. Click here to get the current list of most needed items.

    We’re also instituting a new tradition (thank you to Mystery Lovers bookstore in Oakmont for the inspiration). We have a backlog of ARCs (advanced reader copies) that you can take home for a cash donation to Singing Winds Food Pantry – a Part of the Elders Program at The Council of Three Rivers Indians in Hazelwood. Take one, take three – there’s no limit but please support the cause!

    We will have a brand new treasure hunt for kids, and gift baskets to be won! Come celebrate the first year of our being in our brick-and-mortar store with us!

    Please fill out the following RSVP so we know if we will expect you.”

    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!
