Las Positas College is holding its first Literary Arts Festival all day Saturday (May 8), a free virtual event that will feature national and internationally recognized authors including best-selling memoirists, a Hollywood screenwriter, poet laureates and more. This event is truly special as it allows LPC to showcase the incredible programs we have here while utilizing a virtual modality to bring world-class authors and speakers to our festival, said LPC English professor Martin Nash, one of the founders of the festival. This is just the beginning of what we believe will become a successful literary festival for years to come.
