Join best-selling author and Grubby Award Winner Celeste Ng and comedian and emcee Bethany Van Delft at Lit Up. Without the limited capacity and expenses of an in-person venue, this year's online literary fundraiser will be on a "pay what you will" basis.

Lit Up 2020 is specifically raising funds to honor and amplify the work of Black writers and writers of color in the Boston area. Your ticket donation of any amount will go directly to:

• Increased staffing and programs for the Boston Writers of Color Group

• New writing and teaching fellowships for Black writers

• Expanded financial aid for teens and adults, with increased awards for Black writers of all ages.

The Lit Up Gala will be livestreamed the evening of October 7th only. Stay tuned for more details, and buy tickets here.

Note: This is a ticketed “pay what you will” event. Advance registration is required, but you can decide the amount you pay for your “ticket.”
