Get Lit! 2021 While Get Lit! is not celebrating in person in 2021 due to COVID-19, an exciting virtual festival is planned, featuring headlining authors Jess Walter, Esi Edugyan, Aimee Nezhukumatathil, Robin Wall Kimmerer and many others. See full workshop and speaker schedule online. All events are streamed live on YouTube (with a few exceptions) and will be viewable online afterwards.
