I don’t know about you, but I love all the literary events I get to go to, thanks to our virtual setting. Yes, I’m still looking forward to attending in-person events. But so far, I’ve been able to remotely go to places I couldn’t even go in real life.

There are so many events right now that it might feel a bit overwhelming because there are so many out there. So, this is an attempt to “curate,” or “roundup,” the events I see out there.

Do you want me to add an event? Feel free to email me at ofeliamv23@gmail.com or send me a DM on Twitter @ofeliamv23
