About Us:

An annual tradition since 1996, the spring Literary Arts Festival brings a diverse range of living, established and respected authors from around the country.  The experience of writers who read their work, teach their craft, and discuss their sources of inspiration, proves the power and relevance of contemporary literature.  Always free of charge.

The LAF brings to the campus, as well as the community, the experience of live readings, book signings, lectures, workshops, master classes, and craft talks, but it also provides students rare opportunities to showcase their own original writing in student readings, writing competitions, and other special literary projects sponsored by the Creative Writing Program of Grossmont College. Student Readings, Workshops, Drama Writers' Showcase, Open Mic performances, and other events originating from our campus and community are featured alongside celebrated and award-winning guest writers.
